    Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble Bars are so easy to make and so amazing to eat!  This blueberry crumble bars recipe begins with using a vanilla cake mix, with the addition of fresh blueberries, cream cheese, a delicious buttery crumble and a vanilla glaze to make them complete! 

    These creamy blueberry bars are totally "OK" for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacking, right? It's such an easy & delicious treat for your entire family all year round! 

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble Bars

    I have been snacking on blueberries a lot lately!  I'm happy to report, blueberries are one of the world's healthiest foods!  One of the newest, exciting new evidence about blueberries, is that blueberries can improve memory.  Thank goodness for eating even more blueberries NOW!  

    Sorry, back to talking about these Blueberry & Cream Crumble Bars.  🙂 Focus...Focus...ok back on track and eat more blueberries! 😉 

    So this recipe is super easy using a cake mix for the cookie base and cookie crumbles on top, so that's an easy double whammy because you don't have to make 2 different layers.

    Then the blueberries and the cream cheese mixture is sandwiched in between the cookie base and crumbles, making these bars scrumptious and bursting with blueberry goodness with every bite.

    They taste incredible with a vanilla glaze on top, pairing well with the sweet and tart blueberries, creamy cream cheese filling and crumble love!

    Besides, who doesn't love blueberries and cream cheese together?  They are the 'IT' couple you don't want to break up EVER!

    Blueberry & Cream Crumble Bars

     

    Ingredients You Need

    • 1 box vanilla cake mix
    • unsalted butter, room temperature
    • eggs 
    • fresh blueberries
    • cream cheese
    • sugar
    • vanilla
    • Optional: lemon juice

    How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble Bars 

    1. Preheat oven to 350°
    2. Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray, or line with foil and spray foil to easily take bars out of pan to cut squares.
    3. In large bowl, combine butter, one egg and cake mix. Mixture will be very stiff, so you might opt to use your hands (which I did.)
    4. Reserve 1 cup of cake mixture for crumble topping, set aside.
    5. Press the remaining cake mixture in the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
    6. While crust is baking, in a mixing bowl using mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and remaining egg until smooth.
    7. Spread cream cheese mixture over top the partially baked crust.
    8. Evenly arrange the blueberries over the cream cheese mixture and the sprinkle with remaining crumbles.
    9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until center is set and crumbles on top turn golden brown.
    10. Cool completely on wire rack.
    11. Chill approximately 30 minutes before serving.
    12. For a quick glaze, ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 - 2 tablespoons milk, mix with a fork to get a thick pourable consistency.  Tip: I put this mixture in microwave for 10-15 seconds and then pour it on bars.  Glaze with firm up as it cools.

    Storing 

    Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for 4-5 days, if they last that long! 

    If you're not into blueberries, feel free to substitute other fruit, drizzle white chocolate on top, or if you are real adventurous, try other cake mix flavors.  Lemon cake mix would be incredible!

      haha I can so relate to that lady too! Especially as I've gotten older. It's funny because I can remember lots that happened in 1986 but ask me to remember what I was doing last week? No way! haha
      These blueberry crumble bars sound fabulous. Although I'm a chocoholic too, I LOVE me anything blueberry and especially if it's got a crumble on top. These look seriously delish and addictive!

      Yes! I love it when you get a bargain on blueberries! That was a great price! Thank you Heather!!

      these sound so good! i picked up a few containers of blueberries the other day bc they were 88 cents each... and there's a reason they were so cheap. into baked goods they need to go, so they can soften and concentrate and get tastier in the oven (:

    14. ChocolaTess says

      March 13, 2018 at 11:12 am

      I don't think you'll get the same effect as real blueberries, but if you had canned blueberries like pie filling or frozen those should work like fresh. You could also substitute pretty much any fruit. I did strawberries for a post later and they turned out really good too Deepika!

      Kim, I love my chocolate desserts..But these blueberry crumble bars look dangerously addictive!! Fresh blueberries are really very expensive here, do you think I can use dried ones for making these?

    16. ChocolaTess says

      March 13, 2018 at 8:06 am

      Thank you Katherine! 🙂 They are soo good!

      I love all your latest blueberry creations....bring it on. These bars look so laborious, but can't believe that they begin with a yellow cake mix. Blueberries, cream cheese and lemon is such a delicious combo, YUM!
