Which aisle can we find these?

Just thought I'd drop in with a recipe that is a favorite around our home! The grandkids love these dessert bars.  One day my very young and inquisitive granddaughter asked me, "Nana, now, when we go to the grocery store, on which aisle can we find these bars?" It was so hard keeping a straight face, and I then told her that I had made them. She was pleased and asked when she came back would I make them again. Of course!
I am certain that they are called by other names, but here in Texas we are proud to call them Texas Gold Bars. They are moist, delicious and will make your eyes roll to the back of your head, ahem, I've seen it happen!

TEXAS GOLD BARS

1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 stick butter, melted
1 box powdered sugar (reserve 1/4 c. for topping after cooking)
4 eggs

Grease and flour 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix, 2 eggs, and melted butter. Spread into prepared pan. Combine cream cheese, 2 eggs, and powdered sugar. Pour over first mixture. Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved powdered sugar. Cool and cut in squares.

Bon Appetit!
