Every Thanksgiving one of my family members brings this desert to dinner and I just love it... I was overjoyed to find this recipe. I have made it a least 4 times in the last 2 months.. as a matter of fact I am making a double batch to take to work on Monday.!!!

The first time I made this was off a package of cream cheese. It's very good, but it's rich. If you are not into sweet and rich, this is not for you. I don't always use as the full amount of powdered sugar.

I make these all the time.The only thing I do different is to add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the filling. They are always a hit. I first got the recipe from a Paula Deen magazine. She calls it Gooey Butter Cake.

Sometimes called "Gooey Butter Cake". It is really sweet, so skip this if you don't care for sweet desserts. But it wasn't as heavy as I thought it might be considering the ingredients. It also doesn't have that "cake mix" taste which surprised me. Paula Deen suggests some interesting variations on this recipe, with pumpkin pie filling added to the cream cheese, or crushed pineapple, or lemon or chocolate or mashed bananas. You can doctor up the cream cheese layer many, many ways.

I love this recipe! My mother-in-law always makes this (although she calls them Chess Squares) and it's a huge hit. Now I make it too and always get asked for the recipe. I wanted to make these for some friends but can't find my mother-in-law's cookbook, so I looked on here and found it. I don't know if what I used is 4 cups of conf sugar, I just used a one pound box of conf sugar because I do remember that from her recipe. And I'm actually trying it with chocolate cake mix this time and I think I'll try the blueberry suggestion next time.

Ok, these are great tasting bars! I did cut back on the powdered sugar like the other reviews said, to about 2 1/4 cups, and added 2 Tbls of lemon juice, the fam loved them!

Be sure to bring copies of this recipe wherever you are serving it! I always get asked for this recipe. It is so quick and easy but tastes like gourmet! More like Blondies then cake. My new favorite!

I was so disappointed. I had read many of the recipes similar to this and thought it sounded wonderful. It was very easy, but ended up just a too sweet, dry brownie-like bar. I had thought it would be more moist and cheesecake-like. I had to be sure to serve it warm to even get it out of the pan. Not 'goey' but pretty ooey!

This is great, kinds sweet for my taste but my family loved it. I doubled the recipe and made two and took it into work. They loved it as well. I took the advice from another post and added blueberries and cut the sugar in half. YUM!!

Oh my God this is sweet!!!!!!!!!! My grandparents and the kids all LOVED it but its a tad too sweet for me (and that's saying something). I love it but I can only eat a wee little bit at a time. I have requests to make this again already! Thanks Kenneth!

I send in breakfast goodies on the weekends that my husband works and this was today's fare. I changed the recipe to make it a little more "breakfasty" and the staff said this might have been the best thing I sent in during the 6 years that he has worked there!! The changes I made were: putting a layer of blueberry pie filling between the cake layer and the cheese filling, and I decreased the sugar (based on other reviews) to 2/3 cup white sugar. I also added about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the cheese filling and garnished it with lemon zest. I wish I could have tried a piece but my husband said it was awesome!

This was WAY too sweet for us to even enjoy. I'm a huge fan of sweets but this was overkill, in my opinion. I won't be making this again.

Last Halloween, I went to a party and my friend's mother made this. She called it "That" cake because her kids always said, "I want some of that." I have been looking for the recipe and here it is. I also discovered that it is also called Texas Gold Bars. Yummy. Everyone needs to have this recipe in their files.

Super easy, few ingredients, and delicious. I was 1/3 short of entire cream cheese block so I added some sour cream. Turned out fine. Served with vanilla ice cream and lite canned peach slices. VERY RICH! Will make again. Thanks.

Yum! And sooooooo easy! My husband and kids gobbled this up like it was their last day on earth. I'm dressing it up by using chocolate cake mix and topping it with vanilla ice cream and a homemade hot fudge sauce for a dinner party tonight! One note - mine took longer to bake than the recipe said.
