Ingredients
  

1 box of yellow cake mix

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

    In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until well blended. The mixture will be thick.

      Press about 2/3 of the cake mixture into the prepared baking pan to form a base.

        In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining egg, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

          Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pressed cake layer evenly.

            Crumble the remaining cake mixture over the top of the cream cheese layer. It's okay if it doesn’t cover everything!

              Sprinkle chocolate chips and/or nuts on top, if desired.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but still slightly gooey.

                  Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan. Cut into bars when fully cooled.
