How to Make Marbled Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your brownie mix box. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your brownie mix according to the package directions, but only add 1 egg and 1/4 cup of oil (unless the box calls for more or less).
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (it will be slightly gooey).
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate icing (recipe not included, but many are available online).
  10. Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade marbled brownies!
