Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
For the Topping:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until well combined. The mixture will be thick.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and egg to the cream cheese, mixing until the topping is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Bars:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly set. The center should still be a bit gooey.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Tips:
- For an extra twist, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for added flavor.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
