Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 2 boxes French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Halloween Sprinkles

Mix-ins and Topping

  • 1 package (1 lb. 4 oz) Halloween Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped, divided
  • 1/2 cup Halloween Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars after baking.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the two boxes of French vanilla cake mix, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until fully incorporated. The batter will be quite thick.
  3. Add Sprinkles: Stir in 1/2 cup of Halloween sprinkles into the batter to add color and festive texture throughout.
  4. Layer Oreos in Pan: Spread half of the coarsely chopped Halloween Oreos evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a crunchy base layer.
  5. Add Batter over Oreos: Carefully spoon the thick batter over the chopped Oreos in the pan. Use an offset spatula sprayed with nonstick spray to gently smooth and spread the batter evenly until it fills the pan.
  6. Top with Sprinkles and Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining Halloween sprinkles evenly over the batter. Then, add the remaining chopped Oreos on top and gently press them into the batter with your fingers or spatula.
  7. Bake Bars: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper and slicing into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal and cleaner slicing.
  • You can substitute Halloween Oreos with regular Oreos if you can’t find seasonal ones.
  • Press the top Oreos gently to avoid crushing the bars but ensure they stick well.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For added richness, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled bars before serving.
