    Bake 30 to 34 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 2
    The secret for cutting bars easily is to line pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut bars, just lift baked bar with foil out of pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
