Chocolate Chip Ooey-Gooey Butter Cake

I only post my very favorite recipes here and this is definately one of them. It's called a cake but actually I cut it into bars. I got this from a local news program cooking segment called Cooking with Angie years ago and have made it over and over. Really rich and creamy!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package  poundcake mix
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
• 4  eggs, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 1⁄4 cups powdered sugar, divided
• 1  cup pecans, chopped
• 1  cup  milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat cake mix, butter and 2 eggs at medium speed until smooth and pour into greased 13X9 pan.
3. Beat remaining 2 eggs, cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar at medium speed until smooth. Pour over cake batter.
4. Sprinkle evenly with pecans and chocolate chips.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until knife blade in center comes out clean.
6. Cool cake completely then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup powedered sugar. (In my variation of this I leave off this powdered sugar and melt some of the milk chocolate chips in a small platic storage bag with a bit of shortening in the microwave, mash to mix then cut corner off and drizzle over the top of the cake after i have it cut into squares.).
