Double Chocolate Cream Cheese Bars

Double Chocolate Cream Cheese Bars

I've been gone forever, I apologize to those of you who still check my blog!  Am I the only one who think their summer should be uneventful, but then it's crazy busy?  Wow!

These brownies are my new favorite treat.  Well, not right now, because it's too hot to turn the oven on in my house.  We're going back to crockpot and salad recipes for the summer!

It's thin enough that you can taste all the layers in a small bite, and the crumbly top is so good!  I ate too many the first time I made these, and then made these probably 4 times in the space of 2 weeks. . .yeah, they were THAT good.

• german chocolate cake mix
• 1/3 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 8oz cream cheese
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cup Andes Baking Mints (the kind that comes in a bag, all chopped up for you)

Preheat oven to 350degs.  In a bowl, combine the cake mix, oil and ONE egg until mixed well.  Set aside 1 cup of this mixture.  Press the rest of the cake mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan that was been coated with cooking spray.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.  To make the filling, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.  Add ONE egg and beat well.  Spread over crust that has cooled for about 5 minutes (I start making the cream cheese mixture when I take the crust out).  Sprinkle with chocolate chips and reserved cake mixture, and press slightly.  Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes minutes or until set.  Let it it cool, and then you can serve at room temp, or stick in the fridge for a while.  I like the fridge.
