Ooey Gooey Bars Recipe

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Set aside.

  4. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and beat for 1–2 minutes until creamy.

  5. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.

  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until set. Be careful not to overbake—you want that signature gooey texture.

  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.

Tips for Perfection

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top before baking.

  • Serve chilled for firmer bars, or at room temperature for maximum gooeyness.
