Sprinkle Gooey Cake Bars, Back to School and a BIG Surprise!

So we are 1 week back in to school and I gotta tell you it feels pretty good.  I mean Yea, the schedules are just getting adjusted and being put in and, Yea, the homework and the projects haven’t really started, but routine has and that my friends… is pretty good.  I think after summer and not having a routine the days just started to roll into one and we didn’t know Monday from a Friday.

Now, don’t get me wrong I’m sure in the next few weeks I probably will be singing a different tune– like running around like a mad woman– but as of now things are good.

The summer was pretty great though… the kids traveled all over from Atlanta to Miami and of course let’s not forget our amazing Disney Cruise we went one, which I still need to share those photos, which I promise I will one of these days– will explain the loopiness later on. 🙂

But back to the point, school is back and its a BIG one.  I mean J just started his first year in Middle School, 6th Grade… wiping the tears back, what a sap I am…

and KK is in 3rd grade, her first year in school without her big brother to watch over her and let’s not forget her first year of the dreaded FCAT’s.

Oh and how can I forget the BIG Surprise I promised I was gonna announce to you all in the first place…. (drum roll please)… a “new addition” will be added to the Kennedy Family in February 20, 2014.  That’s right we are expecting a precious bundle of joy.  Now if any of you know me you know that yes this was a surprise to say the least…. LOL… but a great one and we know that God has something amazing planned for our family!

Whew… that was a mouthful… I’m tired already but what else is new apparently I’m tired 24/7… it comes with the territory.  I will let you know what we are having in the next few weeks… so we shall see.

Now let’s get to the good part… Sprinkle Gooey Cake Bars!

These babies are easy to make, fast and use a cake box mix.  I know its a no brainer. 🙂

YUM!

Happy Monday!

Sprinkle Gooey Cake Bars

Print Recipe

Gooey cake bars topped with condensed milk, sprinkles, and white chocolate… what could be better?

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 box Yellow Cake Mix or Funfetti Cake Mix, (up to you)
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter, softened
• 1 Large Egg
• 2/3 cup Sprinkles, divided
• 1/2 cup (14 ounce can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 cup White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9” pan with foil and spray liberally with cooking spray.
2. Add cake mix, butter, and egg to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix until a thick dough forms. Add 1/3 cup sprinkles and stir until incorporated.
3. Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle with white chocolate chips and remaining 1/3 cup sprinkles. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the top. Separate remaining dough into small balls and evenly space over the top of the bars. Press down to flatten.
4. Bake bars for about 20-30 minutes, make sure they are still soft inside though. Cool completely before slicing, otherwise the mixture will be too gooey to cut.
