Gooey Butter Bars

(My sister-n-law, Melissa Hopkins' mothers recipe)

1 beaten egg
1 box butter cake mix
3/4 stick butter, softened
1 cup chopped nuts
1 box powdered sugar
2 eggs
1 8oz. cream cheese

Mix first 4 ingredients and spread into a 9 x 13 pan (DO NOT USE GLASS DISH)
Then stir together:
1 box powdered sugar
2 eggs
8 oz. cream cheese
(I mixed with a mixer, and you can use the same bowl that
you mixed the crust in)
Pour over crust part.
Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cook completely before cutting. Refrigerate.
