Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Spray 2 (8-inch) cake pans with cooking spray.
- Stir yellow cake mix, 3 eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a bowl until moistened. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
- Divide cake batter between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cakes have risen and are lightly golden brown, 33 to 38 minutes. Check for doneness after 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes should come out clean. Allow cakes to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Cool cakes completely, about 40 minutes.
- Whisk 3 eggs, cornstarch, and sugar in a large bowl until well mixed and lemon colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
- Reduce heat to low; pour egg mixture into cream mixture and whisk until thick, about 1 minute.
- Pour egg and cream mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl; discard any chunks.
- Whisk vanilla and salt into the egg and cream mixture until combined. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap pressed against the surface. Chill in refrigerator to form a pastry cream texture, 3 to 4 hours.
- Place chocolate in a large bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon butter and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted. Pour cream mixture over chocolate and whisk until smooth. Set aside until cooled, but still pourable, about 20 minutes.
- Place one cake layer on a plate, flat side up. Spread pastry cream to within 1-inch of the edge of cake. Place second cake layer on top, rounded side up. Press gently to push pastry cream to the edge. Pour chocolate mixture over top of the cake and spread so it drips over the edge.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your five-layer bars. Look for ripe, flavorful fruits, and use good-quality chocolate and nuts.
- Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars at the right temperature: The bars should be baked at a moderate temperature so that they have a chance to set properly. If the oven is too hot, the bars will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container: The bars will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature, or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Five-layer bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With their layers of chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, and graham cracker crumbs, they are sure to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. Follow the tips above to make perfect five-layer bars every time.
