How to Make German Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) German chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted margarine, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x9 inch pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently pour the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate mixture in the pan, spreading evenly.
  6. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't overbake!).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with additional powdered sugar and chopped pecans.
