FAQ
Can I use a different cake mix flavor?
Absolutely! Vanilla, lemon, or spice cake mixes can add unique flavors to your bars.
Why is my gooey layer not setting?
The center should remain slightly jiggly when done. Overbaking can lead to a firmer texture. Let the bars cool completely to set properly.
Can I make these bars gluten-free?
Yes! Substitute a gluten-free cake mix for the yellow cake mix. Ensure other ingredients are also gluten-free.
Can I make these bars in advance?
Definitely! Ooey Gooey Bars can be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. They often taste even better the next day.
