I have to say, baking is my favorite part of cooking. Whether it’s from scratch or semi-homemade, I’m loving it. That is why you will find so many desserts on my blog. Don’t get me wrong, I do love to cook meals…..just not as much.. Smiles are always plentiful when my boys smell something baking in the oven. These Chocolate Chip Bars are no exception.
They are so easy to make…which I definitely love, with the help of a boxed cake mix.
Are they a thick chocolate chip cookie bar. A dense cake. A brownie! Whatever you consider them…you can definitely consider them…gone!

2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 to 2 cups Nestles Dark or Semi Sweet Cocolate Chips

Followed by cake mix, vanilla and water, beating just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread in prepared pan.
