LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. In small bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Set aside.
  • 2 Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread 3/4 of brownie batter in pan. Spoon filling by tablespoonfuls evenly onto brownie batter. Spoon remaining brownie batter over filling. For marbled design, pull knife through batter and filling in wide curves; turn pan and repeat, if desired.
  • 3 Bake 40 to 44 minutes or until toothpick inserted 1 inch from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely at room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled. For brownies, cut with plastic knife into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

I made these with an 8oz package of cream cheese, since that is how they are sold,1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and used 6 drops of each food coloring. Everything else the same as in the directions. They turned out very tasty! Nice and soft.

Haven't made these yet, but I have a question before I do: Why does the first ingredient in the filling say "4 oz. EACH cream cheese, softened"? Is this a mistake? Is it 4 oz. or not? Anybody have an answer for me? Thanks.
