Chess Squares

Note: I got this recipe from my Mom. It is one of my baby sister's and brother-in-law's favorites so I always make it at the holidays to take home.


Chess Squares


Ingredients:

1 yellow cake mix

1 stick margarine, melted

1 egg

1 box confectioners' sugar

8 ounce pkg. cream cheese

2 eggs



Directions:

Mix first three ingredients with fork. Press into the bottom of 9 x 13 pan sprayed lightly with Pam. Cream eggs and cream cheese. Add sugar. Pour over bottom mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool and cut.


Options: Try sprinkling chocolate chips on the cake mix layer before pouring the cream cheese over. Try a different flavor cake mix such as chocolate or lemon. Add a little flavoring to your cream cheese mixture such as almond or lemon. Although I love experimenting with this recipe, it seems like everyone's favorite is the "original".
