Easy and delicious chess squares with a buttery crust, a gooey center, and a flaky caramelized crust on top. This classic Southern dessert is made with 6 simple ingredients, and is also known as chess bars, gooey butter cake, or chess pie squares.

tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

oz cream cheese (softened)

vanilla

Preheat oven to 350℉.

In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, softened butter, and one egg. Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Press into the bottom of a greased 9&#39;x13&#39; pan.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, vanilla, and 3 eggs until smooth. Slowly add in powdered sugar until completely combined. Pour over the first set of ingredients on the 9&#39;x13&#39; pan.

They're a hit in every occasion! Can't wait to make this again.

My grandmother used to make these and I always loved them! So glad I found this recipe, they tasted just like hers!!

Made these for a family gathering and they were a hit!

Addictive, I'll say! They may not look fancy, but don't fool yourselves, they are AMAZING!

These are easy to make &amp; so yummy. Everyone loved them at the cookie exchange at work!

These chess bars (or chess squares) are an easy and sweet dessert using cream cheese and yellow cake mix.

Chess Bars

egg (for base)

eggs (for topping)

oz cream cheese

oz sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Take the cake mix, 1 egg, and softened stick of butter and mix together.

Pat down into a 9x13 pan.

Mix together remaining eggs, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla and pour over cake.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 325 and bake for 45-50 minutes.

This cake will sink in the middle after it cools.

Let cool completely before cutting. Cut into squares and place any remaining bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container (between layers of wax or parchment paper).

I don’t usually make comments but I have been making these bars for years now! A good variation is to use chocolate cake mix for the crust!! The bottom comes out almost like brownies and then the gooey top is so delicious together!! Try it , it’s so very good.
