Directions
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, chocolate chips, oil, eggs, and brown sugar. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed. Pour the batter into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top turns a nice golden brown. Let it cool a little before cutting into bars, then enjoy!
