The recipe for these ooey gooey butter bars is the stuff of legends right now. Even if the shortcut recipe, which calls for using yellow cake mix from a box, has been going around for years, it is nothing compared to these butter bars that are produced from scratch and prepared at home. I assure you that all it takes is a few more steps (and a few of minutes more) to create an old-fashioned dessert bar that is so extravagant that it tastes like it was taken right from Grandma’s table. I can’t wait to spread the word about this wonderful gem.
In the event that you have never experienced a gooey butter bar before, allow me to enlighten you on these layers that are both thick and creamy. The base is tender and moist, much like a cake, and it is covered with a layer of cream cheese that has the consistency of a sweet custard. Fun fact: they are often referred to as Neiman Marcus bars due to the fact that they have such a robust taste.
