DELICIOUS! After reading the reviews and a similar recipe, I decreased the powdered sugar to 2 1/2 cups, added a couple of extra tablespoons of butter to the dough and used my hands to spread it into the pan. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture to add more of a cookie dough flavor. I put about 3/4 cup of choc chips on top of dough and also put 3/4 cup mixed into the cream cheese mixture. It turned out perfect! It DOES taste like eating choc chip cookie dough...so I could see where some might not like it, but it is my new favorite, I'll definitely make this again! UPDATE: I made this recipe again following the recipe EXACTLY and it actually came out better than it did with the alterations. It is very sweet, but it is less "gooey" and more set if you use all the sugar (3 1/2 cups). I believe the taste was better as well. I took it to a party and tons of people wanted the recipe, so it was a hit!

I make this every Christmas season. My family loves them. It's become a holiday tradition.

I make this all the time and my friends love it! lots of people ask for this recipe. yes, it sticks to my teeth, but that's what sweets do. I sometimes make a half recipe in an 8x8 pan with a cupcake mix that is half the size of a cake mix. I also cook it a little longer so the topping isn't as gooey (I am paranoid about cooking the eggs through) and with a little brown on top, it makes for an almost marshmallow top.

Didn't like these. They were hard and way too sweet. Thanks anyway.

This recipe is missing something. The main cake batter recipe is way to dry without enough moisture to be poured in the pan. The cream cheese mixture did not mix to a texture that could be poured over the top. It was not well thought out or someone did not write it correctly. Not typical for the quality of recipes normally found on this website.

These are yummy, but I did change to suit what I had on hand. I used a chocolate cake mix, 12oz of cream cheese with 3 eggs and 4 C of powdered sugar. I also used a 10x15 pan because I like them not to be so thick. Turned out wonderful.
