Ingredients
  

Cookies:

  • 1 box carrot cake cake mix
  • 4 ounces 1/2 block cream cheese, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup 1/2 stick butter, softened

Frosting:

  • 3/4 stick 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 ounces 1/2 block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Hershey's Kisses Carrot Cake Candies chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of an 8×8 square baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, cream cheese, eggs and butter until well combined. The dough will be very thick.
  •  Press the dough into a greased 8×8 baking pan. Bake for 14-16 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the frosting: Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is light and fluffy, for about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, slowly mix in the powdered sugar, 1/2 a cup at at time, until it is thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla and beat the frosting on medium speed for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Frost the cooled carrot cake bars and sprinkle the top with chopped Hershey's Kisses Carrot Cake Candies.
