Funfetti Unicorn Bars Delight (Printable Version)

Whimsical colorful bars with funfetti base and creamy purple-blue swirled frosting garnished with sprinkles.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bars

01 - 15.25 ounces funfetti cake mix
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 0.5 cup salted butter, melted
04 - 0.5 cup heavy cream

→ Frosting

05 - 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
06 - 0.5 cup salted butter, room temperature
07 - 3.5 cups powdered sugar
08 - 1 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - Purple food coloring
11 - Blue food coloring
12 - Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, mix funfetti cake mix, egg, melted butter, and heavy cream until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
04 - Remove from oven and allow bars to cool completely in pan to ensure frosting adheres properly.
05 - Beat cream cheese and softened butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy using a mixer.
06 - Gradually beat in powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, mixing on medium speed until light and fluffy.
07 - Add heavy cream and vanilla extract one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until frosting is light and spreadable.
08 - Divide frosting into two bowls. Fold purple food coloring into one and blue food coloring into the other until desired shades are achieved.
09 - Spread colored frostings alternately over cooled bars. Use a spoon or spatula to swirl colors together, creating a marbled effect.
10 - Optionally sprinkle with sprinkles. Cut into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Allow bars to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and ensure smooth application.
