Cream Cheese Brownies

I needed a quick and easy dessert this week and looked in the pantry to see what I had available. A box of brownie mix wasn’t going to go far enough for the 11 people I needed to serve so I scrounged in the fridge. I had a package of cream cheese.  Hmmm. Grabbing my computer I typed in Cream Cheese Brownies and found this recipe.  Easy, quick and so darned good I had to share.

  1. BROWNIE
  2. 1 (20 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (13x9 size)
  3. 1⁄4 cup water (or what mix calls for)
  4. 1⁄3 cup oil (or what your mix calls for)
  5. 2 eggs (or what your mix calls for)
  6. TOPPING
  7. 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  8. 1⁄3 cup sugar
  9. 1 egg
  10. 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
  2. Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions (water, oil, eggs).
  3. Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  4. Beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  5. Add sugar and mix. Add vanilla and egg; mix until well-blended.
  6. Place cheese mixture in dolups over the whole pan, leaving some brownie showing inbetween.
  7. Cut or swirl through batter several times with a knife or fork for a marbled effect. It can be tricky to get a good marble effect so be careful not to over work it.
