How to Make Simple Marble Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Add eggs, water, and oil; mix well until just combined.
  3. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marble effect.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The cream cheese swirl should be lightly browned.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting to allow the brownies to set.
  9. Store leftover brownies in the refrigerator.
