Recipe Highlight: This is a quick & easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Noah makes his own mean version of these bad boys! This is my take on this popular homemade treat that’s sure to please even the most discerning tastebud at the family gathering.
Makes 9 x 13-inch pan of bars.
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
- box of cake mix (I use French vanilla)
- 1/2 cup of melted butter (1 stick)
- 2 eggs
- vanilla extract to taste
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1 block)
- 2 eggs
- vanilla extract to taste
- 4 cups powdered confectioner’s sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter.
- Add your box of cake mix to the melted butter and mix in eggs & vanilla to form a crust mixture.
- Press crust mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened cream cheese (room temperature) with eggs & vanilla. Once mixed, slowly incorporate the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. This will be your topping mixture.
- Pour the topping mixture over the crust mixture.
- Place into your preheated oven, cooking for 35 to 40 minutes. When done, the middle will be softly set and the top of the bars will have a crinkled texture.
- Cool completely before eating.
NOTES
Kiddos: I love you so much! Please feel free to make this your own! I normally use the French vanilla cake mix, but the original calls for yellow cake mix … and lemon or strawberry would be fantastic as well! We always enjoyed putting them in the fridge once cooled as it transforms the topping! No matter how you enjoy them, know I’m thinking of you!
