ingredients
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions (water, oil, eggs).
- Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Add sugar and mix. Add vanilla and egg; mix until well-blended.
- Place cheese mixture in dolups over the whole pan, leaving some brownie showing in-between.
- Cut or swirl through batter several times with a knife or fork for a marbled effect. It can be tricky to get a good marble effect so be careful not to over work it.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool; cut into squares. (These will also freeze well).

Very yummy! This recipe needs no tweaking, and I followed it exactly as written (for a change). It's the perfect choice if you, like me, love brownies and love cheesecake. The cheesecake layer cooked perfectly while my brownie layer was still very moist, just the way I like it. Make sure that you do just what the poster said: just swirl it a little bit so that it doesn't get mixed up and it will be fabulous! I will make this often!

I made these this morning as "cupcakes" and they turned out wonderful. I put a small amount of brownie mixture on the bottom, a scoop of cream cheese mixture, a scoop of brownie mixture and then a dab of cream cheese mixture on top. I swirled in the cream cheese mixture on top. There are only a few left. Yummy!

Good stuff. I had a pkg. of Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie mix and it worked like a charm. Served it to guests and got good reviews. I used to make one like this from the Epicurious.com website, but being short on time I really liked the boxed-mix option! Oh, and I added orange extract and zest to my cream cheese instead of vanilla.
