Steps

1

In a mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar.
2

In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla. Slowly incorporate into mixer.
3

Add the cake mix to the mixer slowly, half at a time. Mix thoroughly, until very well combined. This makes a very stiff batter.
4

Spread into a greased 9x13 baking dish
5

Sprinkle M&Ms on top. Your kids will love this step. (My photo shows closer to 9 oz M&Ms. My kids get carried away...)
6

Bake 30 minutes at 350°F. It may still look undone in the middle, but that's kinda the point.
7

Allow to cool in a pan before cutting into bars.
