Ingredients
1 box spice cake mix (16.5 oz)
1 cup pumpkin puree, divided
1 large egg
1 bag (8 oz) mini Oreo cookies
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, 1/2 cup of the pumpkin puree, and the egg. Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Lightly spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a base layer.
Distribute the mini Oreo cookies evenly across the dough base.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, the remaining 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, and the ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Drizzle the pumpkin condensed milk mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips uniformly across the top of the batter.
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly gooey and a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Comments
This is a straightforward dessert that leans on shelf-stable pantry staples—cake mix, pumpkin puree, condensed milk, Oreos, and chocolate chips are all standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger banners, with no special stops required. At 24 servings from two boxes of Oreos and a single can of pumpkin, the per-serving cost stays under fifty cents, making it a genuine budget dessert for fall gatherings. The stated 42 minutes is realistic for a bar cookie with a simple mix-and-spread method, though home bakers should expect the full time if they're not practiced at even thickness. The real caveat is that these are one-note sweet and benefit from small portions; they don't reheat exceptionally well and are best eaten the same day or within a day or two, so they work best for a crowd rather than a family stashing leftovers.
