  • 1 large egg

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  2. Make Cake Mix Crust: Combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg in a medium bowl. Press the dough into the pan to form the crust.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.

Notes

  • For a flavor variation, try using a lemon or spice cake mix.
  • Bars will firm up more as they cool, so avoid overbaking for a gooey texture.
