We felt like some brownies yesterday but I wanted to play with them a little bit first!

I just used a box mix (I like the Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownies) because I’m out of cocoa (the horror!), but before I put it into the oven I mixed one 8oz package of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 egg together until smooth (if it’s too thick you can add a tablespoon or so of water or even coffee), then poured it over the top. Then I used a fork to pull the brownie batter up and around the cream cheese mixture to marble it.

I baked it using the package directions (40 minutes at 325 degrees) but next time I do it (and there’ll definitely be a next time!) I’m going to keep it in at least another 5-10 minutes since the inside was still a little too gooey. But they taste fantastic!
