How to Make Amy P's Black Bottom Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  3. In a separate large bowl, prepare your brownie batter according to your favorite recipe (or use a box mix) ensuring to obtain approximately 3 cups of batter.
  4. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the brownies to set and the flavors to meld.
  8. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
