We moved to University Park in 1982 when I was four years old. Our neighbors the Hogans came by to welcome us to the block and brought us these delicious treats. I remember devouring them and wanting Mom to get the recipe. They're essentially chess bars, but I like the name with my home state in it better.
For the crust:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup melted butter
1 egg
For the topping:
1 8 oz block cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
3 eggs
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan. Mix together the crust ingredients and press into the greased pan. Cream the cheese and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time until each is incorporated. Pour topping over the crust. Bake 40 minutes. Cool completely. Dust with extra powdered sugar and cut into squares.
