Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted margarine or butter, and eggs.
- Stir by hand until thoroughly moistened.
- Stir in chopped nuts and candy bits from the cake mix.
- Spread the batter evenly in the greased pan.
- Bake for 13 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely.
- Frost the cooled bars with Pillsbury Funfetti pink vanilla frosting.
- Sprinkle with candy bits from the frosting.
- Cut into bars to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, you can substitute half the margarine with applesauce for a lighter version. If you prefer a nut-free option, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with additional candy bits from the cake mix. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the bars tough. For an extra festive touch, consider adding sprinkles to the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different frosting flavor?
Absolutely! While Pillsbury Funfetti pink vanilla frosting adds a festive touch, you can use any frosting flavor you prefer. Chocolate or cream cheese frosting would also complement the sweetness of the bars nicely. Feel free to experiment with different flavors to suit your taste.
What can I do if the bars are too crumbly?
If your Funfetti Party Bars turn out too crumbly, it may be due to overbaking or not enough moisture. Ensure you’re measuring the ingredients accurately. If they’re already baked, try serving them with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of frosting over the top to add moisture and sweetness.
Can I freeze the Funfetti Party Bars?
Yes, you can freeze these bars! Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and serve at room temperature.
