Quick Cream Cheese Bars

Need a quick and easy dessert that has a touch of class? If so here's the treat for you!
My children thought this was super great! They also said that they couldn't really taste the cream cheese in it.
It's easy to make and versatile.
Fruit and other toppings could be served on top of each serving if you like.
Coconut, chocolate chips, etc. could be added in the filling.
*
1 box of yellow cake mix
mixed with
1 stick of melted butter
1 beaten egg
Mix these 3 until all moisten. It will have a crumbly type texture.
Press it out in a 9x13, going up the sides slightly.

Cream; 1 8oz package of cream cheese.
Beat in 2 eggs
and
2 cups of powdered sugar
Mix well until creamy and all lumps are gone.
Pour over cake mixture.
Bake at 425 until the middle is set. It will be lightly golden.
Cool and cut and serve!

Cherries, other berries, etc could make this a more formal treat, but it's great just like this!
You could also melt some chocolate chips or white chocolate and drizzle on the servings.

I make a version of this recipe. It's one of my favorites. We call it chess cake.
