Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1¾ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar

Filling

  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup yellow cake mix
  • ¼ cup sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9-inch square baking pan, then line with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Stir together vanilla wafer crumbs, the melted butter, and 2 Tablespoons sugar. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until the crust is just brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat for an additional couple of minutes, until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and yolk, 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons milk, vanilla, salt and beat again until completely combined and smooth.
  • Finally, stir in the cake mix and sprinkles until smooth.
  • Pour the filling over the crust. Set the pan in a larger pan (a 9 × 13-inch works for this), and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
  • Bake until just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the baking pan from the water bath, and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Cut into bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
