Ingredients

  • 1 (approx 15 ounce) box lemon cake mix
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a metal 9x9 baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix butter, cake mix and egg; beat until combined. Note: if you use a hand mixer it will take a long time to come together. Just keep on mixing until you get a thick cookie dough.
  • Press ½-⅔ of the cake mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top then sprinkle white chocolate chips.
  • Break up the remaining dough and crumble it over the top of the bars. I find it easiest to take small pieces and press them flat between my fingers and lay them on top. Do the edges first to seal in the sweetened condensed milk so it doesn't bubble up around the sides of the pan. The dough won't completely cover the top, that's ok.
  • Bake for 28-33 minutes, until slightly browned. Cool completely before cutting.
