This Almost Like Candy Bars are a family favorite not only for the taste but for the simplicity. It’s my go to recipe when I need a quick dessert!
Are you having a hard day? Are your children making you a little crazy? Does it feel like every day is Monday?
I feel your pain and sometimes you just need a little bit of chocolate to make everything right.
These Almost Like Candy Bars are our family go to recipe for parties, events, church functions and family game night. They are easy and delicious, a throw together scrumptious taste of heaven in a chocolate concoction.
This is a family favorite not only because of its taste but for its simplicity. I never take these goodies to a function without being asked for the recipe. You can’t go wrong!

These bars WILL harden in a few minutes. Just make sure your chips are melted.
You can mix and match your toppings (chocolate chips, heath bits, nuts, coconut, etc.) to your liking. You can’t have too much or too many!
I sometimes double this recipe and put it in a 10x13 (or lasagna size) dish. Allow extra cooking time. I judge this dessert as done when the cake mix that pokes through the top starts to brown. If you don't cook it enough it will just be gooier!

Hi! You are featured this week at Potpourri Friday!
Thanks for the feature!
These look delicious! Is it possible to substitute the cake mix with brownie mix?
Hey, Jennifer. Thanks for commenting on my almost candy bars. I have no idea how the brownie mix would be instead of the cake mix but you could certainly try it! I guess just mix the brownie mix and oil together and then layer the other ingredients. You might want to cook it less and see if it needs any longer. Let me know if you try it because I’m sure we’d love that, too!

These look absolutely sinful!
So glad you had Stephanie make these for us. They were awesome. So good in fact that I’m buying the ingredients to make some to get us through this snowstorm we’re going to have. Forget milk & bread. I need chocolate. And I will probably have some of these for breakfast during one of the snow days.
Glad you’re all set for the storm! Chocolate and breakfast go good together (since we know you’re unhealthy anyway. ie. Jimmy Dean 🙂
Do you use just the cake mix and butter or do you make the cake mix( with eggs and oil) following the recipe?
Hi, Tammy. You just mix the cake mix and butter, no extra ingredients that are listed with the box mix. Enjoy!
