For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar (approximately 1 lb)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the cake mix, melted butter, and egg until a soft dough forms. Press into the prepared pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until creamy.

- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set but gooey.
- Cool completely before slicing into 16 bars.
Notes
For neat cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices.
Bars taste better the next day after refrigeration.
Customize with mix-ins or different cake mix flavors.
