Neapolitan Gooey Cake Bars

I have another sweet bar recipe to share with you, Neapolitan Gooey Cake Bars.  This recipe has THREE cake mixes in it along with THREE sticks of butter and it's topped off with some sweetened condensed milk! OH MY!

Ingredients (printable recipe)
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 box vanilla/white cake mix
1 box strawberry cake mix
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil sprayed with cooking spray.
2. Place chocolate cake mix, a stick of butter and an egg into a large bowl, mix until combined. Press into the bottom of prepared baking pan.

3. Place vanilla cake mix, a stick of butter and an egg into a large bowl, mix until combined. Press over chocolate cake layer.
4. Place strawberry cake mix, a stick of butter and an egg into a large bowl, mix until combined. Press over vanilla cake layer.
5. Drizzle 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk over strawberry layer then bake for 40-50 minutes, until center is cooked through. Let cool completely. Cut off edges, about 1/2 inch, this makes bars look nicer, but not necessary. Cut remaining cake into squares and serve.

Let's get started!

First, the chocolate layer...

Next, vanilla...

Last, the strawberry layer. If you have little helping hands around, let them take some of the cake mixture (which is similar to playdough in texture) and roll it into balls. Then, flatten those balls......

.....and press them into the pan on top of the other cake layers.

I "drizzled" the sweetened condensed milk on top.

A big glass of milk is a necessity with these rich bars!

The Results...
Dense, chewy, super sweet and rich.  I would cut these bad boys into small squares and drink plenty of milk with them.  I really like the idea of a Neapolitan-type brownie, but we weren't impressed with this recipe.  Honestly, we just thought these were OK.

I also share recipes at these linky parties.
