These bars are awesome, good for any occasion. They are very rich, even though you can only eat a few at a time, I've seen people manage to get half the pan down. I don't know if anyone has seen or had these bars but my mom made them for me when I was a kid and I have no idea where she got it from, but they are to good to wonder. Make it exactly as it says or it won't come out right. This is so not hard to make even though it might seem that way just reading it, try it you won't be sorry. Enjoy for any occassion.

12 -24 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Bottom layer

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix

1 egg

Top layer

1 lb powdered sugar (1 lb)
2 eggs

Directions

1
Spray 13x9 in pan, Preheat oven to 350 degrees (a must, timing is critical).

In another bowl mix cream cheese, the 2 eggs together slowly until it starts to get a little smooth. Then SLOWLY start adding the powder sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy; well blended. Pour over the cake mix crust.

This is most definitely a sweet treat, & something most of us can handle only some much of at a time, so, I suggest that you really try cutting this batch into at least 24 pieces! Love the taste (& I've got a sweet tooth to satisfy), but 1 piece at a time, with laahhhng pauses in between, works just fine! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
