Butter Toffee Chess Pie Bars

I'm sorry to have to tell you about this. I really am, because it's about to change your life forever, in a more-fat kind of way. Remember our friend Brandon? Of the velvet-jacketed-musical-prowess fame? Well, he brought over these things to Game Night:

He said, "You can only get these at Walgreens, and they are so delicious." And it was true. It was so, so true. I proceeded to consume untold amounts of Butter Toffee Peanuts. Only me and the recycling know how many cans of these I consumed. And when you get through eating the peanuts, at the bottom are these lovely Butter Toffee bits that get knocked off and wait there for you.

And, as Brandon pointed out, these little bits were ripe for a desert to go into. So I had to make one up. What flavor would complement the butter toffee deliciousness? Chess pie, of course. So here they are:

And I'm sorry to burden you with this knowledge, but they are so, so delicious. So rich and wonderful. Please make them. Please go to Walgreens and buy yourself some Butter Toffee Peanuts.

Your ingredients: Yellow cake mix, 3 eggs, dark brown sugar, powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter toffee bits, and butter

First, melt your butter and mix it with the cake mix and 1 eggs until it's dough-y

Press it into the bottom of a greased 9x13. Mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, 2 eggs, and butter toffee bits for about 1-2 minutes.

Now, just pour it over the crust and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Oh it's that easy, my friend.

I'm sorry. But you needed to know. It's a secret that must be shared.
