Ooey Gooey Bars — The 5-Ingredient Dessert That Melts Hearts (and Spatulas!)

With just 5 ingredients—yellow cake mix, butter, eggs, cream cheese, and powdered sugar—you’ll create a treat so rich, so decadently gooey, it’s been known to disappear before it even cools.

Crisp golden edges, a tender cakey base, and a velvety cream cheese center that oozes with every bite—this is the kind of dessert that earns standing ovations at potlucks, bake sales, and family dinners.

And the best part? No mixer required. No fancy skills needed. Just 10 minutes of prep.
