Easy Speculoos and Nutella Bars

A bar that is cinch to make because it starts with a cake mix. Layered with both speculoos and nutella that will surely make these disappear off the table at your next get together.

As much as I love to bake, sometimes you just need a dessert that is super fast to make. Now I’m not one to use boxed cake mixes, but for whatever reason, this box of cake mix has been hanging out at the top of my cupboard for quite some time. No idea what it’s original purpose was. Oh well. It’s lot in life was to become the base for this super fast and insanely delicious bars.

I adopted the recipe from a Betty Crocker recipe. All you need to do is combine the cake mix with one egg and melted butter.  I melted the butter to give the bar a great moist crumb. Then press the crumb down in your pan, reserving 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the cake mixture to crumble on top. Bake for 12 minutes, then spread a layer of speculoos (cookie butter) and nutella on top. I know, both. Then crumble the remaining cake mix mixture over it.  How positively evil of me. How positively delicious.

If you are unfamiliar with speculoos (or cookie butter), it is a European concoction of a spiced graham cracker like cookie that has been churned into a peanut butter like form. I recently had the opportunity to visit Amsterdam and Brussels and while I was there had to snag a bottle of the infamous speculoos from Maison Dandoy. Oh heaven.

And if I wasn’t evil enough I also sprinkled in some chocolate chips for good measure. I mean you can’t have too much chocolate right? I didn”t think so.

Enjoy everyone 🙂
