Easy Creamy Lemon Bars

Easy Creamy Lemon Bars 1 box lemon cake mix 1/3 cup butter melted 3 large eggs divided use 1 8 oz block cream cheese softened 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 tbsp grated lemon peel 1 tsp vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg. It will look crumbly. Press this mixture into baking pan. It'll take a little time to do this but hang in there and keep on pressing. In the same mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar. Add in lemon juice and grated lemon peel and stir until smooth. Add the remaining two eggs and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat this mixture until well blended (making sure to scrape down the sides of your mixing bowl as you stir). Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture (it will be your topping after bars are done cooking). Put it in the fridge until you need it. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture over cake mix base. Spread out until evenly coated.
