🧈 How to Make Ooey Gooey Bars — Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg.
2. Stir until everything forms a thick, dough-like mixture.
3. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
   • Use your hands or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
   • Make sure it’s evenly pressed—this becomes your buttery base!
