How to Make Ooey Gooey Butter Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted margarine, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the cake mix layer.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 2 large eggs, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the coconut and nut layer.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
