About the Ingredients for Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars

Cake mix – Stick with either yellow cake mix or vanilla cake mix for the crust. Butter pecan cake mix is an excellent option too.

Butter – Softened butter here. You can use unsalted or salted.

Eggs – Make sure you start with room temperature eggs.

Food colouring – For softer, pastel colour use liquid food colouring, for more vibrant cake layer, use gel food colouring.

Cream cheese – Use full fat cream cheese for the best flavour. Substitute with light cream cheese for a lighter dessert. Be sure to start with softened, room temperature cream cheese so it is easier to work with.

Sugar – Just plain granulated white sugar.

Vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract is best, clear vanilla is great too as you will get a whiter looking glaze.

Powdered sugar – Icing sugar helps make the gooey layer.

Sprinkles – Use any kind of sprinkles that you like.
