Cheesecake Brownies

Delicious creamy cheesecake swirled with brownie- a winning combination. And this is actually really easy to make since you use your favorite boxed brownie mix (my favorite is Pillsbury!). 

Ingredients:

1 package brownie mix

1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened

2 T. butter

1 egg

1 T. flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1. Make brownie mix as directed on package. 

2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, egg, flour, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. 

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4.  Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish. Spread a little less than half of the brownie batter in pan. Spread cream cheese filling over brownie batter. Pour the rest of the brownie batter over cheesecake mixture. Use a knife to swirl through brownie and cheesecake mixture to make a "marble" effect. (I don't mix them too much, because otherwise you won't find pieces of cheesecake if it's too mixed into the brownies)

5. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes, or until it looks done and slightly crackled on top. It's a little hard to tell when they're done because using a toothpick in the center doesn't work very well with this. Just remember it's better to underbake these than to overbake so they're still soft and not dry!
