Brownies are one of my favorite desserts. They're sort of a cross between a cookie and cake, chocolaty, rich and gooey. What's not to love? I always keep some mixes on hand to make up in a hurry. This version takes a mix and adds a little cream cheese to make them extra moist and creamy.
I like Betty Crocker's Triple Chunk brownie mix - it has chocolate chunks in the mix, but you can use your own favorite brand.
Mix according to package directions.
In a separate bowl stir 8 oz. softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
Pour brownie batter into greased 9x9 pan, reserving about 1 cup of batter. Then pour cream cheese mixture on top and spread.
Drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls onto cream cheese.
Draw a knife through the batters to make swirls.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely!
I was able to release the entire baked brownie onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares.
Yum! Super easy and super delicious.
