Ingredients:
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream (for swirl)
- 1 tablespoon oil (for swirl)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for swirl)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake.
-
Prepare Pan: Grease a 15 x 10-inch pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars once they’re baked to perfection.
-
Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, 2/3 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream, and 1/3 cup of oil. Mix until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps in the batter. This mixture will form the base of your delicious bars.
-
Set Aside Swirl Mixture: Take 1/2 cup of the prepared cake batter and set it aside in a separate bowl. This portion will be used to create the beautiful swirl effect on top of your bars.
-
Prepare Swirl: In a small bowl, blend together the 2 tablespoons of Bailey’s Irish Cream, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. This mixture will add an extra burst of Irish cream flavor and a lovely swirl pattern to your bars.
-
Layer Batter: Pour the majority of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to cover the entire bottom surface.
-
Add Swirl: Using a spoon, drop large dollops of the swirl mixture evenly over the surface of the cake batter in the pan. This doesn’t need to be perfectly spaced as you’ll swirl them together shortly.
-
Create Swirl Effect: Take a fork and gently drag it through the dollops of swirl mixture and cake batter, creating a marble effect. Be careful not to overmix; you want to create a beautiful swirl pattern without completely blending the two mixtures together.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars pass the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars, and if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they’re ready to be taken out of the oven.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut them into squares of your desired size using a sharp knife.
-
Enjoy: Serve these Easy Bailey’s Irish Cream Bars as a delightful dessert at your next gathering or indulge in them as a special treat just for yourself. With their irresistible flavor and moist texture, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
