Steps:
- 1.Preheat oven to 350 Degrees and spray a 9X13 rectangular pan with baking spray and set aside. 2. In a large bowl, pour in the cake mix, add the egg, and the melted butter and stir together with a wooden spoon. Once well mixed, pat into the bottom of the 9X13 rectangular pan. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese until smooth and add in the eggs one at a time creaming into the cream cheese after adding into the bowl. Add the vanilla and coconut extract, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Pour the filling on top of the cake mix. 4. For the topping: Mix in the brown and white sugar, sweetened coconut, and stir in the butter. Add the flour to the mix and stir. The topping will become very crumbly. Turn to wax or parchment paper and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes so the crumbs can dry out a bit. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the filling ( I didn't use all the crumbs for my personal taste). Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center won't be as gooey. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your gooey bars. Use the best butter, chocolate, and flour that you can afford.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the bars will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: Cutting the bars while they are still warm will cause them to fall apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The bars will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Gooey bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
