For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to achieve desired consistency. Frost bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 3-4 dozen.
I had to bake these longer like 35 minutes at 350* since mine were in cake pans.This cake was so moist.
