Chocolate Parfait Bars

These bars are almost no-bake (they require only 10 minutes in the oven), and unlike almost all of my other recipes, this one calls for a packaged ingredient (cake mix, to be specific).

Ingredients

– Devils food cake mix – Butter – Egg – Envelope gelatin – Boiling water – Powdered sugar

Instructions

To make the crust for these, combine a chocolate cake mix package with 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons, or 1 stick) softened butter and an egg.

Step: 1

Spread the mixture into a greased jelly roll pan. If you don’t have a jelly roll pan, you can use a 9×13 inch pan, and your layers will just be a little thicker.

Step: 2

Step: 3

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Don’t overbake it, or the crust will be hard. Let the crust cool completely (it’ll look puffy at first and will then flatten out as it cools).

Step: 4

After it’s cooled, you’ll make the white filling. First, dissolve a package of gelatin in 1/4 cup boiling water. Make sure you stir it well so that there are no lumps.
