Notes
- All ingredients must be at room temperature.
- Don't over-bake because that will make these bars dry.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Heat Nutella for a few seconds to make it easier to swirl on top of the batter.
- Try other add-ins like peanut butter, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, extracts, pretzels e.t.c.
- Use Pillsbury cake mix boxes because they are 15.25 oz. The other brands have gotten smaller and won't work well.
