Step 2: Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the dry cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Step 3: Make the Gooey Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and continue beating for a couple of minutes. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until fully combined and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Bars
Pour the gooey filling evenly over the prepared crust, spreading it carefully to cover the surface.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake—the center should remain soft and gooey.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve as a decadent dessert or treat for any occasion.
These Ooey Gooey Bars are rich, creamy, and downright irresistible—perfect for sharing, or enjoying one square at a time!
