Ingredients:

For the Base:

• 1 full box of yellow cake mix
• 8 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 egg

For the Sticky Layer:

• 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 16 ounces of powdered sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Base

• In a medium bowl, combine the dry cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
• Press the dough evenly into the greased baking pan to form the base.

Step 3: Prepare the Sticky Layer

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
• Gradually add the beaten eggs and mix for a few minutes until well combined.
• Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until the filling is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

• Pour the sticky layer evenly over the prepared crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until set, but be careful not to overbake. The center should be slightly gooey.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

• Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
