Gooey Butter Cake

This is by far my most favorite go to recipe for any potlucks or picnics.  It is always a huge hit and super tasty.  Presenting Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gooey Butter Bars (warning, lots of calories!).

I can’t take credit for this. It’s a Paula Dean recipe that I tweaked a little bit.

Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix:

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 egg

½ cup melted butter

Pat into bottom of prepared pan.

Mix:

1 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Then add 1 lb box of powdered sugar.  Finally slow pour in a ½ cup melted butter.  Pour on top of the prepared crust in pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.  Bake for 40-50 minutes.  Watch carefully and do not over bake.
