CREAM CHEESE CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS

Category: Bars

Crust:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup butter, softened

Center:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping:
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 (16 oz) pkg confectioners sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Grease a 13x9 inch pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, 1 egg and butter until well blended. The batter will be stiff. Crumble and press into the prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over, and press them into the crust slightly.

For the topping, beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, 3 eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Spread over the chocolate chip layer. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
