Cream Cheese Brownies

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.
