• Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and 2 eggs together in a bowl until smooth; spread over batter.

OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9x13-baking dish. Line your baking dish with foil and spray the foil with a non-stick spray.
• Using a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour this mixture into a large food processor, along with the 2 eggs and butter. Pulse until well combined and your dough is crumbly.
• Pour the dough into your prepared pan and lightly pack it along the bottom. Set aside.
• In the same food processor, rinse it out and add the cream cheese. Pulse until the cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Add in the 3 eggs and vanilla, mixing again until well combined. Now, add in the powdered sugar and mix on high until all the clumps are gone. Pour this mixture over the base in your pan.
• Baking for 50 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown color. Don't use the toothpick test! You know the bars are done once color has been reached and the top has started to puff up.
• Allow to cool completely before cutting, the top layer is gooey so if you cut when warm it will be messy. Once cooled, chill in the fridge for a couple or hours, or freeze for 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

• Mix cream cheese, cocoa powder, and remaining eggs together in another bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in powdered sugar slowly. Pour over cake layer in the pan.

CHOCOLATE CHIP (OOEY) GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Light grease a 9x13 in. baking pan. In a bowl, combine cake mix, egg, and butter with an electric mixer. Mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside. Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Dump powdered sugar and beat very well. Reduce the speed of mixer and slowly pour in melted butter. Mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes (it took me closer to 50 minutes). You want to center to be a little gooey, so don't bake it past that point! Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. If you want to drizzle melted chocolate over the top allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes and then drizzle over. Allow to cool for at least another hour and then cut into bars. Enjoy!

• Cut the large peanut butter cups into 4 pieces. Roughly chop the Butterfingers. Spread evenly over the cake layer.
• Combine the cream cheese, vanilla and peanut butter together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time and mix them in. Add the butter. When this is all combined together add the confectionery sugar. Spread evenly over the candy bar layer.
• Bake for about 50 minutes. I used a glass pan and it took just over an hour. The mixture will be puffed up in the center when done. It will jiggly just slightly. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Melt the chocolate for 1 minute in the microwave. Add the oil. Stir until combined. Spread over the top of the cream cheese layer.
