Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease or spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add cake mix, egg, and butter to a large bowl; mix well with a mixer.
Pat cake mix mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.
In another bowl, use mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth; add in the eggs and vanilla; mix. Add powdered sugar; beat well; reduce speed of mixer; gradually add in melted butter to incorporate well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the cream cheese filling onto cake mixture; spread evenly.
Bake for 40-50 minutes. The center should be a little gooey, so don't over-bake.
Remove from oven. Scatter the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips on top of the bars; let sit several minutes to allow them to soften and melt a bit. Use a knife to spread the chocolate around, covering the entire pan.
Allow to cool for at least 1 more hour before cutting into bars.
