Gooey Butter Bars

This recipe is from the mother of one of Erin's classmates. After tasting them at school, Erin came home and said, "I don't know what it was, but it was sooooo good!" The recipe was published in a class cookbook and now I bring it to you. They're very easy to make and sooooo good to eat. (How could they not be, with a name like Gooey Butter Bars???)

• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Mix cake mix, egg and butter (it will be crumbly). Press into bottom of 9"x13" pan.

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 eggs
• 8 oz. (1 package) cream cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix together sugar, eggs, and cream cheese. Pour into the pan on top of the cake mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is a light toasty brown color.

Variations include using different flavors of cake mix. So far I can only attest to the yellow mix, but I've heard that lemon cake mix works well.
