These Ooey Gooey Bars have a softly crisp crust, are soft and fluffy, and are sweet but not overly so.
Basically, they taste great!
Ooey Gooey Bars are incredibly easy to make, always a hit with the crowd, and melt in your mouth good! You can’t go wrong when using cake mix, butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar as ingredients. Waiting for them to cool will be the hardest part!
