Cake Batter 7 Layer Bars

 
7 Layer Bars.

I am convinced that 7 layer bars are magical things.

They can solve all your problems.

I've proven it.
I had a headache while making these. One bite and instantly I was in cake batter funfetti heaven. Delicious heaven.

Well, you know these are good. Even if they didn't magically take away all your problems, they are awesome, because if you take two awesome things, and put them together it is bound to end in awesomeness.

Weeelllll, not always. Seeing how pizza is awesome and ice cream is awesome and if you put the two together, you get pizza ice cream. Um, eew.

So let's dissect these layers of funfetti cake batter deliciousness.
 

1st layer is a graham cracker crust. (I know, I know, I realize you can't see the graham cracker crust in these photos. Look reeeeaaaally hard at the bottom left corner of the bar on the bottom.) Just because, well, graham cracker crust is delicious. And the best way to enjoy graham crackers is in a pie. Or seven layer bars.  (actually smores is probably the best way, but work with me here)

2nd layer is cake batter cookie type thing. Made with a cake mix. It's my most favorite cookie recipe ever because it's so versatile (you can do spice cookies, funfetti cookies, butter pecan cookies , german chocolate cookies, the possibilities are endless!).

3rd layer is cake batter truffle dough. I took this egg free recipe as my inspiration. I froze it the night before that way instead of having baked egg free cookie things (do not try do not try do not try) you'll have a layer that tastes like cake batter in dough form.

4th layer is actual funfetti cake. Because you can't have cake batter seven layer bars without cake. I'm pretty sure it's a rule.

5th layer  is sprinkles. Duh. You cannot have cake batter without sprinkles.

6th layer  is sweetened condensed milk. Normally, this is the seventh layer, but I had something special in mind for the seventh layer

7th layer is caramel. Just because me and caramel are BFFs. Kind of like me and cake batter. I put the caramel on AFTER the bars were baked. Because I don't want my house to burn down just because I accidentally put caramel in the oven.

So these are delicious, but they do require preparation. I would recommend making the truffles earlier in the week and just doubling the batch. And make the cookies early too (no need to double the batch here, this makes a TON, so just freeze half the batch and save it for these cookies)

So these really are easy if you make cookies and truffles earlier in the week. And if you tell me to make cake batter stuff early, I'm not gonna doubt ya.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

• 1 stick of butter
• Funfetti Cake Mix and ingredients on the box
• Frozen Cake Batter Truffle Dough (I used this recipe)

• Caramel Ice Cream Topping

Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Line 9x13 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray generously with non-stick spray. Press graham cracker crust into the pan. It's okay if it doesn't completely cover everywhere. Pour some melted butter on top. Set aside. Combine cake mix with butter and eggs. Press on top of crust. Press frozen truffle dough on top of that. Pour funfetti cake batter (made with mix and ingredients called for on mix) on top of that. Add sprinkles to that. Then pour on sweetened condensed milk. Bake at 350 for35-38 min. Pour caramel on top and serve.
