Ingredients
Prepare for a delightful adventure with the following ingredients:

Instructions
Let’s embark on the journey to create these luscious Cream Cheese Squares:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring a flawless release of the squares.
Create the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, beaten eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Press and Layer: Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a firm and even base for the squares.
Whip Up the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and velvety.
Layer and Swirl: Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake layer in the pan. Use a spatula to swirl and create a visually appealing pattern.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut: Allow the Cream Cheese Squares to cool completely before cutting them into delightful squares. This step ensures clean cuts and perfect portions.
