Heavenly Cream Cheese Bars, Easier Than Pie

Heavenly Cream Cheese Bars, easier to make than pie.
Which is a no-brainer because pie isn’t easy, is it?
So try this simple to make and simply delicious dessert
that starts with a cake mix.

 

Did I tell you I grew up in a big family?

There’s a few advantages to being one among many.

You know why?

Because, for one thing, you kind of get to pick and choose your jobs.

I hated cooking “food” but I loved making desserts.

My just-older sister wasn’t as sweets-obsessed as I, but she was good at cooking main courses.

Perfect match, right?

Until you got old enough – like maybe high school – to realize what all those yummy sweets did to the hips. 🙁

However, I never lost my sweet tooth and the desire to make them.

(Well, my husband might disagree with that statement, because he has to wait awhile for his favorites sometimes. But there’s a reason for that, too.

At our age? Well, let’s just say sugar and other carbs aren’t friendly to us.)

But I’m keeping you from your dessert.

Here’s the recipe.

 

 

Heavenly Cream Cheese Bars

Is there any dessert not made better with cream cheese?

I challenge you to name one.

When this dessert is set on a platter

you will look qualified to be the pâtissier of Boulangerie Utopie.

As if you spent hours achieving the perfect pastry.

And you’ll stand aside, hide your smug smile, and accept the compliments.

 

 

Here’s the needed ingredients:

• • yellow cake mix
  • butter
  • eggs

You will need

• • a 1/4 sheet pan
  • electric hand mixer
  • large mixing bowl, spatula, measuring cups, etc.
