No, not Bison Bar time (though one does always have a good time when they are at the Bison). DESSERT Bar time! Hmmm...Theme week here? Rolo Cake Mix Bars earlier in the week and today Red Velvet Bars!

For these bars you will need:
- 1 stick Butter, softened
- 1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1 Egg
- 1 - 1 oz. bottle Red Food Coloring
- 16 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
To make these bars:
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Combine the Butter, Cake Mix, Egg & Red Food Coloring. Batter WILL be stiff!
- Spread into a greased 9" x 13" cake pan.
- Beat together the Cream Cheese & Sugar until creamy.
- Add the Eggs & Vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Spread over cake batter mixture.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the bars barely start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Cool COMPLETELY before cutting.
I enjoyed these bars. I really did. D was fairly undecided on them. He thought he liked them, but the cream cheese layer didn't appear to be setting up right (and with the egg in there I wanted to make sure it was) so I left it in a bit longer. Turns out it may have been TOO long. My pan was a little dry, but could be because they were overbaked or because D cut into them before they were fully cooled. Either way, I enjoyed them enough to make them again that's for sure!
I've got to scurry home and finish PMS-SIL's Baby Shower present and the "Man-Shower" present D will be giving her husband (which the girls will be crashing later that day). Sunday we'll be in heading North (not to Alaska, but maybe someday soon!) to watch a friends little girl in her first figure skating show. So excited!
Have a GREAT weekend! Hope all of you enjoy the GREAT weather we're supposed to have this weekend (or whatever weather is coming your way, wherever you are!)
Always~
