Gooey Butter Bars/Neiman Marcus Bars/ Texas Gold Bars etc. Filed under ( bars, dessert, Gooey Butter Bars )

This is one of those recipes I have had for years and many of you probably have it too. In Texas, we referred to these bars at Neiman Marcus bars or Texas Gold Bars but in the midwest, they are typically referred to as Gooey Butter Bars. The original Gooey Butter Cake is from St. Louis. Please visit Park Avenue Coffee in St. Louis as they have 73 varieties of Gooey Butter Cake - and they ship! :) I had to post this recipe - all time, stand-by yummy recipe. I plan to make Peanut butter/Chocolate Gooey butters bars next!
