Cheesecake Marble Swirl Brownies

Every year, for our numerous family reunions, I always make two pans of Cheesecake Marble Swirl Brownies with my sisters and mom. This recipe has been in our family for four generations, and is a running tradition. The reason we like making these is because they’re fast, and easy to make. This easy recipe comes in handy when you’re running late and need to make a snack.

Tools needed- 1 mixer and or spoon to stir with, two large bowls, one 13x9x2 pan, one small saucepan, cooking spray, and an oven.

Ingredients( for one pan):

8 ounces of semi- sweet chocolate chips ( Great Value )

10 tablespoons margarine ( Imperial butter sticks)

2 cups of granulated white sugar ( Great value )

4 regular eggs

1 ¾ cups flour ( Great value )

2 teaspoons baking powder ( Great value )

½ teaspoon salt ( Great Value )

1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract ( Great value )

8 ounces of cream cheese ( Happy Farms )

¼ cup of water

* Reserve 1/4 cup of flour for Cream cheese mixture

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 13x9x2 pan thoroughly.

Melt 6 tablespoons margarine and chocolate chips in separate saucepan over low heat, until it develops a smooth look. Let it cool for 10 minutes.

Next, in a large bowl, beat 1 ¼ cup sugar, and 3 eggs together until well blended. (The eggs should be cracked and opened before they are stirred together.)

Next, pour in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the egg and sugar mixture. Then, in a larger measuring cup, blend together 1 ½ cup flour, two teaspoons baking powder, and half teaspoon of salt.

Then, simultaneously stir in water and chocolate mixture.

Once its stirred completely, pour the mixture into a pan. Make sure it's evenly spread through the pan.

Next, in another bowl, beat the cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, and 4 tablespoons of margarine until smooth.

Then, beat in the remaining egg and one tablespoon of vanilla. Stir in remaining ¼ cup of flour.

Then, plop mixture into chocolate batter filled pan.

Then, use the prongs of a fork to gently swirl batters together.

Let bake for 40 minutes until the batter is set.

Let it cool for two minutes afterwards, and enjoy!
