For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. Ensure that the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free filling. If the top is browning too quickly during baking, tent the pan loosely with foil. These bars are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a decorative touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled bars before cutting.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly spray the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix and softened butter. Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend until a crumbly mixture forms. Reserve 1 cup of this crumble for the topping. Press the remaining crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn the same bowl (no need to clean it!), beat together the softened cream cheese and cream cheese frosting until smooth and completely combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is well blended and creamy. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust in the baking pan. Gently spread it to ensure an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the top of the cream cheese filling. (3 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean. (50 minutes)
06
StepRemove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will take approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
07
StepOnce cooled, cover the pan tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to chill completely and the flavors to meld. (120 minutes)
08
StepOnce thoroughly chilled, cut the bars into 6x6 rows (or any size you prefer) and serve. Enjoy!

Jun 23, 2025The crust was a little crumbly, so next time I'll try adding a tablespoon of milk to the cake mix mixture.
