• 1 box yellow cake mix (any brand works, I’m not fancy)
• 2 large eggs (straight from the fridge is fine)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola works too, whatever you’ve got)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the real stuff makes a difference)
• 1 cup Easter/Spring M&M candies (those pastel-colored ones)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like semi-sweet, but milk or dark work great too)

Optional add-ins if you’re feeling adventurous:

• 1/4 cup sprinkles (because more color = more fun)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (in addition to or instead of regular chocolate chips)
• 1/3 cup chopped nuts (if nobody has allergies)
