Funfetti Bars

April 4, 2018 by Kimberly Bellissimo

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These funfetti bars are AUH-MAZING. Chewy, soft & tender in texture, loaded with a yummy cream cheese cake batter-y flavor and lots of sprinkles (because, duh!) and beautifully dusted with powdered sugar, these bars make for some pretty delicious handhelds. I originally found this recipe in an older copy of Bake From Scratch Magazine and I just could not help myself!!!

This recipe is a one-bowl wonder. When making the base of this recipe; butter, cream cheese & sugar, you’re essential making a delicious and fluffy cream cheese frosting – and that’s just the base people!!!! Anything built off of a frosting-like base is bound to be delicious! Once you have all your ingredients assembled you’re pretty much just throwing everything into a bowl and mixing everything together until a thick dough forms. Cream cheese makes these bars extra soft in the center and the combination of vanilla and almond extract bring a natural cake batter flavor.

Author: Kimberly | Just Add Sprinkles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough paper on the sides to make for easy lifting to transfer the bars once they're done baking. Set dish aside.
  • In a large bowl combine butter and cream cheese and sugar, beat on medium speed using an electric mixer for about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in the egg and both extracts, continue mixing until combined. Add in flour, baking powder & salt, mixing until combined. Batter will be thick, fold in sprinkles. Spread the dough evenly into the baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the center is set.
  • Let the bars cool completely. Once cooled lift up the sides of the parchment paper to transfer onto a cutting board and dust with confectioner's sugar using a sifter. Cut into squares or triangles.
