Crafting these Ooey Gooey bars is more than just following a recipe; it’s about creating a culinary masterpiece that never fails to captivate taste buds and bring joy to any gathering. With a simple yet irresistible combination of ingredients like cake mix, butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar, these bars are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 box of dry yellow cake mix (not prepared)
8 tablespoons of melted butter
1 egg
For the Gooey Layer:
8 oz. of softened cream cheese
2 eggs, beaten
16 oz. of powdered sugar
The journey begins with the crust, a simple yet crucial foundation for the decadence that follows. Using just a box of dry yellow cake mix, melted butter, and an egg, you’ll create a dough that’s both easy to work with and bursting with flavor. Once combined, this dough is carefully pressed into a generously greased 9×13 baking pan, setting the stage for the gooey goodness to come.
Now, onto the star of the show: the gooey layer. Made with softened cream cheese, beaten eggs, and a generous amount of powdered sugar, this mixture is whipped to perfection until smooth and creamy. As it’s poured over the prepared crust, it forms a tantalizing layer of sweetness that promises to melt in your mouth with every bite.
With the pan now filled with this heavenly concoction, it’s time to bake. Preheating the oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit, you’ll slide the pan in and patiently wait as the magic happens. It’s crucial to resist the temptation to overbake, as it’s the ooey-gooey texture that sets these bars apart and keeps you coming back for more. After approximately 25-30 minutes, when the bars have achieved their tempting, just-done state, it’s time to carefully remove them from the oven and exercise patience once more. Allowing them to cool completely is essential for achieving the perfect texture and ensuring that each bite is pure bliss.
