Healthier Chocolate Gooey Cake Bars

Thanks to a very secret ingredient, these Healthier Chocolate Gooey Cake Bars use no butter! Despite the missing butter, these babies are outrageously moist. They were inspired by Paula Deen's gooey butter cake, but made for chocolate lovers instead. This easy dessert recipe is also semi-homemade. Using a cake mix saves so much time in the kitchen. The cake mix acts as the crust of the bars. They have a rich chocolate crust and topping that's filled with chocolate chips and pecans. It is a delicious marriage between gooey (no) butter cake and layered magic bars. Eating this dessert is a magical experience. They are so scrumptious, it's hard to believe they are healthier.
