Funfetti Cheesecake Blondies

So I decided I wanted to surprise my mom and make those cheesecake blondies again that she loves so much. But instead of using just any old blondie batter, I decided to use the recipe for funfetti cookies (yes, shame…I used a box mix but come on, nothing beats Pillsbury!). I was really nervous about how they would come out since Pillsbury goes a little skimpy on the amount of batter the mix makes so I made the bars in a 9×9 inch pan instead of a 9×13 inch. But my mom didn’t complain .

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, and eggs. Stir with spoon until thoroughly moistened
Stir in white chocolate chips, and set aside
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and 1/4 cup white sugar. Mix in the 2 remaining eggs
Spread 1/2 of chocolate chip dough in bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in Preheated oven 13-15 min
Pour cream cheese batter on top of dough. Bake 10 min
Drop pieces of the remaining chocolate chip batter over filling. Don?t worry if there are gaps; the batter will spread
Bake for 30-35 more minutes, or until lightly browned on the top. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into bars (mine got a little crispier than I would have liked)
