How to Make Red Velvet Ooey-Gooey Butter Bars

Begin by mixing together the red velvet cake mix, one stick of butter that has been melted, and one egg. This will be a thick mixture that feels much more like a crust than a soupy brownie mixture. Press the cake mixture combination into the bottom of a greased 13 X 9 pan.

In another pan beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the two eggs, vanilla, and two eggs. When completely smooth, begin adding the powdered sugar. Continue mixing until all the powdered sugar is mixed in. Then pour over the top of the red velvet base.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake mix dough. Make sure it is evenly spread and then bake on 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. The doneness is tricky since this is best when it is still gooey!

When the bars are done the top will be a golden brown. The top should not be giggly but it definitely won't be clean to a toothpick. Red Velvet Ooey Gooey Butter Bars are a perfect combination of textures and flavors.

My husband and I gave up running the 80-cow dairy farm that also included a couple of hundred acres of corn and soybeans to both work to support the agricultural industry. We still have about 20 head of dairy heifers and cows to help my kids appreciate the effort it takes to raise livestock. I consider myself a foodie as I love cooking and experimenting with recipes.
