How To Make chocolate gooey butter bars

  • 1
    Mix the cake mix, 1 egg and very soft butter and spread in the bottom of a 13 x 9 prepared pan. Mixture will be sticky. It helps to use wet fingers for this step when pressing dough into the pan.
  • 2
    Press one bag of chocolate chips into the first layer. I used a 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips.
  • 3
    Beat the cream cheese, 2 eggs and powdered sugar well and pour over the second layer.
  • 4
    Bake at 300 for about one hour and ten minutes until top is lightly browned. Cut into small bars for serving.
