| Cake Mix Birthday Blondies |
So I wasn’t going to make my daughter a birthday cake this year, because it was also the day of her preschool graduation and they were having punch and cookies afterwards. And we weren’t going to have a regular birthday party, since she and I were going out by ourselves on the following Sunday to celebrate.

So it made perfect sense not to make a birthday cake, right? But I woke up last Thursday (her birthday), thinking I needed to make her something. I had several cake mixes in the cupboard but of course I didn’t just want to make a regular cake. Brownies sounded really good but I didn’t have all the ingredients for Jamie’s Easy Double Chocolate Brownies.
I was pretty sure you could make brownies or blondies from a cake mix but wasn’t sure how. So I googled it and found a recipe I could tweak. This is what I came up with. And these would be good anytime not just on birthdays!
Yield: 12 people
Chocolate Chip Birthday Bars
Prep Time
10 minutes
Cook Time
30 minutes
Total Time
40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pkg White Cake Mix
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- Chocolate Syrup
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 in baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl combine first 4 ingredients.
- Beat until well combined. You will want to use an electric mixer since this batter is thick!
- Add Chocolate Chips and mix by hand.
- Spread the mixture into the pan.
- This will take some time (& muscles) since the batter is thick.
- Bake for 25-30 until edges start to pull away from pan.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Add Chocolate Syrup and Sprinkles to cut bars for an extra special (and easy) birthday treat.

These blondies were quick and simple and Kae loved them as did all of my other children. Which is what matters, right?
