How to Make Halloween Can T Leave Alone Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix well.
  3. Press two-thirds of the mixture into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside.
  4. Optional: Add food coloring to the remaining one-third of the cake batter until you reach your desired color.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk, chocolate chips, and butter.
  6. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds, then stir.
  7. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted and smooth (total time should be approximately 45-60 seconds).
  8. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the pressed cake mixture in the baking pan.
  9. Drop teaspoonfuls of the remaining colored cake mixture randomly over the top of the chocolate layer.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into small bars. (They're rich!)
