Ooey Gooey Bars

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 egg

1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened

1 box yellow cake mix

For the Filling:

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

16 oz powdered sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

Directions:

Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix the cake mix, softened butter, and egg until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined and creamy.

Assemble & Bake: Pour the filling over the crust, spreading evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown but the center is still slightly gooey.

Cool & Serve: Let the bars cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
