How to Make Dark Chocolate Cream Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Set aside 2/3 cup (about 6 oz) of the dry cake mix.
- In a large bowl, beat the remaining cake mix (about 10 oz), 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 1 large egg until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, in a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
- Gradually add 2/3 cup (about 6 oz) of the reserved dry cake mix, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (4 oz) softened cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the chocolate chips.
- Bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. The top should spring back lightly when touched.
- Do not overbake. Let cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with powdered sugar and cutting into bars.
