Cream Chez Bars
Cream Chez Bars are easy, sweet treats with a buttery cake base, perfect for satisfying dessert cravings or sharing at gatherings with friends and family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the yellow cake mix with the egg until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a half cup of chocolate chips to the cake mix. If you don't have yellow cake mix, a white cake mix can work as a substitute, but the flavor will be slightly different. Ensure the egg is room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Serving Suggestions
These Cream Chez Bars make a delightful dessert on their own, but you can enhance them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a full meal, consider serving them alongside Lee Fennel'S Potato Soup for a comforting combo.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Cream Chez Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place a bar in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy a warm treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different cake mix flavors! Chocolate or lemon cake mixes can create a unique twist on the original recipe. Just keep in mind that the baking time may vary slightly depending on the moisture content of the mix.
How do I know when the bars are done baking?
The bars are done when they turn a golden brown color on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
Can I freeze the Cream Chez Bars?
Absolutely! Allow the bars to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving, or enjoy them slightly frozen for a refreshing treat.
