  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure all of your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any last-minute scrambling.
  • Use a quality cake mix: Not all cake mixes are created equal. Choose a brand that you trust and that produces consistent results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are set: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely: Before you cut and serve the bars, let them cool completely. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
