This recipe is similar to many others I've seen, but in my opinion, these are the BEST! They are also great for bake sales when individually wrapped.

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs, divided
1 (15- to 18-ounce) package butter cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting, optional
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 of the eggs.
  • In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, butter, and the beaten egg. Beat on low speed until the butter is blended into the dry cake mix and the egg mixture and the crumbs begin to clump together. Stop mixing and pat the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until the mixture is light and well blended. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs. Continue beating until very smooth. Beat in the vanilla, if using.
  • Pour the cream cheese batter over the first layer and spread to cover evenly.
  • Bake the chess squares for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set and lightly browned.
  • Cool on a rack and then cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly before cutting. They are a little gooier if you cut them while they are still warm.
  • This recipe makes about 24 (2-inch) bars. Store the bars in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

TASTY CHESS SQUARES



Tasty Chess Squares image

Unless I'm arranging these on a platter to take somewhere, I will wrap the individual squares in plastic wrap or waxed paper. They store easily and will not stick together. Plus, they're portable! These are best at room temperature or slightly warm. Store in refrigerator, so they'll last longer, heat in microwave for between...
