Ooey Gooey Bars: A Deliciously Decadent Treat
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (dry, not prepared)
- 8 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 egg
For the Gooey Layer:
- 8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 16 oz. powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pat and press the dough evenly over the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Set this aside.
- Prepare the Gooey Layer: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and continue to mix until the mixture is smooth, which should take a minute or two. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until everything is well combined.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes or until done. Be careful not to over bake; the bars should be gooey in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
