Ingredients
-
1 box yellow cake mix
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
-
1 egg
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
4 cups (16 oz) powdered sugar
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Crust:
-
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.
-
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
3. Prepare the Filling:
-
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then mix well.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until the filling is smooth and fully combined.
4. Assemble the Bars:
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust and spread it evenly across the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is still slightly jiggly.
5. Cool and Serve:
-
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. The bars will set as they cool, giving them that perfect ooey-gooey texture.
