Birthday Cake Seven Layer Bars

birthday cake seven layer bars

Things You Will Never Hear Me Say:

“This is too bright.”

“There’s such a thing as too much glitter.”

“I’m full.”

“On second thought, I’ll pass; I don’t need it.”

“No, I don’t feel like going to the mall today.”

“I could never spend that much on a Betsey Johnson dress.”

“This floor-length denim skirt looks GREAT!!!”

“Mom, will you buy me a pair of Crocs?”

“I’ve been craving a Bloody Mary!!”

“Mmmm!! Porkchops!!!”

“Kristen Stewart is one of the greatest actresses of this or any generation. Pure talent and pizzazz.”

…Or any sentence where I use the word ‘pizzazz.’

“I don’t want pizza tonight.”

“Let’s go to Old Navy–I hear they’re having a sale on flip flops!!!”

“That Taylor Swift is such a hopeless romantic! I love her songs, and no, they don’t all sound the same!”

“Ooh, John Mayer. He’s SOOOOO hot!”

“Are seven layers too much?”

So, okay, not to sound like a broken record or anything, but I heart seven layer bars. Like a lot. And not to be a one-trick pony or anything, but I made yet another version that tastes like cupcakes. You’ll thank me after your taste buds explode into the gates of heaven upon first bite, trust me. (Also trust me not to use anymore cliche expressions related to broken-record-playing-track-ponies).

birthday cake seven layer barsThe inspiration for these big, bad bars full of birthday cake goodliness came from THESE bars I made last week. Upon tasting them, I liked them, but I felt like they were missing some more cake-y action. And sweetened condensed milk, which I’m petitioning restaurants to start offering as a beverage. The world is so narrow-minded in its beverage choices, am I right?

So thus, these Birthday Cake Seven Layer Bars were born. Magic bars, seven layer bars, crack — whatever you prefer to call them, we’ll all inevitably know what you’re talking about when you bite into one and say “OMG YUM.”

Birthday Cake Seven Layer Bars
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel
Recipe type: Bars
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  40 mins
Serves: 12-15
 
Happy Birthday to yoooooou. Celebrate tastily with these seven-layer bars!
Ingredients
  • 1 box Funfetti cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • ¾ cup miniature marshmallows
  • ½ cup (roughly about 10-12) Birthday Cake Golden Oreos, roughly crushed
  • ½ cup (roughly about 10-12) Birthday Cake Oreos, roughly crushed
  • 2 boxes Cupcake Bites*
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9 inch pan with foil, extending edges of foil over the sides of the pan. Mist lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, egg and melted butter until a soft dough forms. Press into prepared pan in an even layer, and bake for approx. 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and immediately top with the semi-sweet chips, the white chips, sprinkles, 2 types of crushed Oreos, cupcake bites and marshmallows evenly. *However, I find the marshmallows cook best when they're put on as the first layer, then covered with the remaining ingredients* Drizzle the can of scmilk on top.
  4. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into bars. Store airtight, at room temperature, for several days. These taste really good at room temperature or slightly warmed! So gooey!
  5. **Note: I found the Cupcake Bites (which are like round, cake-flavored candies) at the Dollar Store. I also found the limited edition Birthday Cake Oreos at Walmart and Target. Stock up!!**

        Hey Lisa! I found the cupcake bites at my local Dollar Tree store, but if you can’t find them, feel free to omit them — they’re just a fun little addition but in no way affect the final product’s awesomeness 🙂

      Hi Kathy! Cupcake Bites are a weird little candy I spotted at the Dollar store. If you can’t find them, no worries–they don’t drastically influence the taste or texture of these bars. They’re just a fun little add-in 🙂

      March 5, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      Hey Maggie! If you add caramel, I’d suggest using the unwrapped caramel square candies, or the caramel bits (on the baking aisle near the choc chips). Just be prepared for it to be a bit sticky when you cut!

      Hi Jan! Wow, you got lucky! Each box I got had only one pouch. I’d use about 1/2 cup-3/4 cup of cupcake bites total, depending on how many you want to use.

Mine will be based off of my other 7 layer bar recipe – I’m going to use sprinkles, marshmallows, golden oreos, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles. 🙂 No cake mix, so we will see how they turn out!! xo

    You think they would still turn out alright with just 1/2 a can of sc milk??? We like sweet in this house, but WHOA!! I just couldn’t bring myself to pour on the whole can. **crossing fingers, they’re in the oven….guess it’s really too late to be asking this question, huh? 🙂

      April 5, 2013 at 4:14 pm

      Carli–totally okay! I’m sure they’ll turn out fine. Sometimes, I don’t even use the whole can. I just drizzle it until it’s covered adequately and then call it a day 🙂 hope you like them!!

      Hi Alliyah! These will taste great even with a few tweaks. If you can’t find the Birthday Cake flavored Oreos (as they may be a limited edition thing here in the States), feel free to use regular Oreo cookies or chocolate/vanilla cookies. And those Cupcake Bites things are a fun little product I found on a whim.. you can omit them and I promise you won’t even know the difference! Hope this helps and Happy 30th!

    Sure, just make sure to thaw them to room temperature before serving! 🙂 And I would freeze them in individual layers so they don’t stick together in one container.

    Thanks! They look scrumptious 🙂 I think I’ll freeze them without cutting them and let the girls cut them whatever size they want. Oh.. I got the Cupcake Bites from Amazon when I couldn’t find them at the three Dollar Stores in the area 🙂
