Cookies and Cream Gooey Bars have a chocolate cake layer on the bottom topped with a gooey cream cheese layer full of crushed oreo cookies.

These rich bars are like a combination of cheesecake and cake. Who doesn’t love chocolate and oreos"

Two Delicious Layers

Chocolate Cake Layer– this layer is made with a box of chocolate cake mix, an egg, and a half cup of melted butter.Cream Cheese Layer– the cream cheese layer makes the gooey part. It is a mixture of cream cheese, melted butter, eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed Double Stuff Oreos.

Equipment Needed

Electric Mixer– either stand or hand-held.9×13-inch baking dish

What Type Of Cake Mix To Use"

You can use any regular-size box of chocolate cake mix. I prefer Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker. You can use Chocolate Fudge, German Chocolate, or Milk Chocolate flavor.
Recipe TipBe careful not to overbake. It should still look a little gooey in the middle. The sides will puff up and the middle will look a little sunken. This is normal.

Make Ahead and Storage

These bars can be made a day or two in advance. They need to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour before serving. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep in an airtight container for 5 days.

How To Serve Cookies and Cream Gooey Bars

Can be served cold, at room temperature, or warm. I like to top the bars with fresh whipped cream and an oreo cookie.
