Ooey Gooey Neiman Marcus Bars

cream cheese

unsalted butter (1 stick)

yellow cake mix (15.25-ounce)

eggs (divided)

sugar

vanilla extract

Let 8 ounces cream cheese sit at room temperature until softened. (Alternatively, place the cream cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 15-second bursts until very soft, 30 to 60 seconds total.)

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom and the 2 long sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper, making sure it is long enough to hang over the sides by at least 1 inch to form a sling.

Place 1 stick unsalted butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts until melted, 40 to 60 seconds total. (Alternatively, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and transfer to a medium bowl.) Let cool slightly.

Add 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix and 2 of the large eggs to the melted butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, 25 to 30 seconds (the batter will be very thick). Transfer to the baking pan and spread into an even layer.

Wipe out the bowl and paddle (no need to wash). Add the cream cheese, remaining 2 large eggs, 1 pound powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with the mixer on medium-low speed until smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice, 40 to 45 seconds total. Pour over the top of the cake batter and spread it into an even layer.

Bake until golden brown around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly when the pan is gently shaken, 35 to 40 minutes. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.

Run a thin knife around the edges of the bars to loosen. Grasping the excess parchment paper, lift the slab out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 24 pieces.

Excellent!
My first time making these.  Very simple recipe and explained very well too.
  
Thank you,  WB

I made these and they were absolutely delicious! Melted in your mouth.  I cut the sugar in half and they were perfect.  Next time I will try one of the variations by adding some lemon and lemon zest and then I will try another one by adding cocoa powder.

This recipe was amazing! It was so easy to prepare and the entire family loved it. Can't wait to make it again!!

I made these for Independence Day and they were so good I couldn't keep the eager family hands off them. I now have to make another batch -- and I'll have to hide them. This is one of the best treats I've made. It's a keeper.

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

Chess Bars

yellow cake mix

butter

egg (for base)

eggs (for topping)

oz cream cheese

oz sugar

vanilla

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.
