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
How To Make Ooey Gooey Bars:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pat and press the dough evenly over the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Set aside.
Make the Gooey Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and continue to beat for a minute or two until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the center should still be a bit gooey.
Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.
