Yellow Cake Mix Gooey Bars

These decadent Yellow Cake Mix Gooey Bars are knock your socks off good and super easy to make with just six ingredients.

A mom of one of Barbara’s high school friends would make a version of these dessert bars, and when she ran across this recipe in her Glenwood (college cooperative) stash, she had to know if they were one in the same.

Her verdict? Barbara was pleasantly surprised to find out they were indeed just as delicious as the ones from her memories.
