Funfetti ooey gooey bars are filled with sprinkles and so easy to make! These cookie bars turn out ooey gooey and delicious. They are made with sprinkles and resemble funfetti cake, but in a cookie bar.

These funfetti cake mix bars really are just so gooey and sweet and delicious. I love bringing them to potlucks any time of year and usually get people asking for the recipe.

I typically cut them pretty small, because they are so sweet and rich. And that means that people can go back for seconds... or thirds... or fourths.

The ooey gooey sprinkle bars only require a few ingredients and you just mix everything up in a giant bowl. So easy to make. You don't even need a mixer for this, you can just stir together by hand!

Ingredients

  • Yellow cake mix (it's true, you don't actually use funfetti cake mix here. You mix in your own sprinkles instead!)
  • Eggs
  • Oil
  • White chocolate chips
  • Heavy cream
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles

How to customize the gooey funfetti bars

I like to do a mix of sprinkles, but if you're doing something with a color theme, you can use whatever color of sprinkles fits! (Pink for a baby girl shower, orange and green for Halloween, or red, white, and blue for Independence Day).

Not a fan of white chocolate chips? You can swap out for butterscotch chips, or even really change it up and use peanut butter chips and a chocolate cake mix.

How to store

Once funfetti cookie bars are cooled and cut, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Recipe notes

  • Let the cake bars set and cool before cutting! I like to cool them overnight for this reason. If you try to cut them too early, they WILL fall apart on you.
  • You could use funfetti cake mix, but I like using separate sprinkles so I can customize the colors and then also have sprinkles to add on top.

How to make ooey gooey sprinkle bars

First, get your sprinkles together. You'll want two bowls. One that you'll mix into the batter and then some to sprinkle on top. You can do a mix of colors, or colors specific to the holiday you're celebrating!

Sprinkles in two bowls

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and ¼ cup of sprinkles. Stir together, then add the oil and beaten egg and mix everything together with a fork to combine.

Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix together. Then, add the white chocolate chips and stir until everything is combined. Batter will be thick.

Place into a greased baking dish, sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top, and cook for 30-33 minutes. Remove the funfetti cake mix cookie bars from the oven and let cool completely before cutting, otherwise the cookie cake bars may fall apart.

    Do you think this would have a decent taste still If I used a white cake mix instead of yellow?

      Good question. You could try butterscotch or peanut butter chips, but that would of course allow the blondies to take on those flavors. You could also try leaving them out altogether. I think it would still bake up properly, but I haven't tested it to know for sure.
