Preparation

Step 1

In mixing bowl, blend dry cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Press into a 9 x 13 pan ungreased

Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar

Reserve 1/2 C of this mixture and refrigerate for later

Beat the remaining 2 eggs, add the vanilla, then beat this mixture into the remaining cream cheese mixture until well blended.

Spread over the cake mixture.

Bake 350 until set approximately 25-30 min (took longer for me, I used glass pan)

Cool completely, spread reserved cream cheese mixture onto the bars. Refrigerate until firm.
