Cake Batter Blondies

Ingredients:
Box of cake batter (Funfetti)

1 egg
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 of white chocolate chips
1/4 cup of oil
Strawberry icing (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)

Mix the cake batter with egg, oil and add the milk slowly. Batter should be dense. Then add the chocolate chips. Use a greased 8x10 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Blondies should be slightly uncooked. Let cool for 20-30 minutes.

For that extra something special-I add strawberry icing. It makes them more fun and pretty and delicious.
