This recipe originally was called Chess Bars, a recipe my mom found in the paper, posted by co-workers of a friend of mine from high school. I tweaked the recipe just a bit and my kids told me it was the best brownie bars they'd had - hence the name change. I've seen similar recipes to this called gooey cake. We think of it...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Spray 9x13 pan*** with Pam.
- 2. Mix bottom layer ingredients in large mixing bowl, and press evenly into pan.
- 3. Mix top layer ingredients till smooth and pour over bottom layer, tilting pan to cover completely.****
- 4. Bake for 55 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool COMPLETELY. Cut into bars.
- 5. Goes great with an ice cold glass of milk.
- 6. NOTES: *** I've cooked this in glass pans, single layer aluminum pans and in Air Bake insulated pans. The Air Bake produces the best texture and color. **** No need to change/clean mixing bowl... use same tools as bottom layer. ***** The brownies rise pretty high then drop to about 1/2 the height of the pan. ****** Variations: Change the flavor of the cake mix and/or the extract/liqueur to suite your tastes. I've tried Strawberry Cake Mix...you really need a huge sweet tooth for this one. I couldn't handle this one; luckily I have a friend who could. I've also made it with Spice Cake - delicious!!!! Put the kids in the mood for pumpkin pie.
