The Christmas countdown continues! Last week I brought you Red Velvet Cake Batter Brownies, and as promised here is the super simple recipe for Mint Chocolate Chip Cake Batter Blondies…guaranteed to be a crowd-pleasing contribution to your holiday baking lineup 😉

Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp – 1/4 cup milk
1 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
a few generous drops of green food coloring
chocolate sprinkles for topping (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cake mix and chocolate chips in a large bowl, then mix in the butter and egg.
Add as little milk as possible slowly just until the batter is combined – you want the batter to remain as dense as possible!!!
Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring. Mix well.
Place batter in a greased 8×8 pan or 8-inch cake pan. Bake for 26-29 minutes or just until the edges turn golden. Do NOT over-bake – it’s better to err on the side of under-baked (trust me).
Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting because the gooey center needs to set. The result will be a decadent, cake-batter texture.

* My favorite brand has always been Betty Crocker SuperMoist Yellow Cake Mix. It turns out to be the best texture and cake batter-y flavor!
