Marbled Brownies

These brownies are extremely easy to make and have that homemade taste. I make them whenever I have to take brownies but do not have a lot of time to bake. I have had several people ask for the recipe. Sometimes I also frost them.

Ingredients

1 package 8-ounce cream cheese

5 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tablespoons flour

3/4 teaspoons vanilla

1 package Duncan Hines Brownie Mix, family size

Directions

Soften the cream cheese and butter; beat together. Add the sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla; beat until smooth and set aside.

Prepare the cake-like brownie batter as directed on the package. Pour half the brownie batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Pour all the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer. Spoon the remaining brownie batter in spots over the top. Swirl the two mixtures together with a knife or spatula.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes or until done. Cool and frost.

Yield: 24 large brownies
