Marble Cream Cheese Brownie
I have been oogling and googling marble brownies for the longest time, but have never made them.
Until now! Sadly, it doesn't really look too much like a marble topping. I got a little too enthusiastic with swirling the top. I even used 2 knives. This is why most people try their best to keep knives away from me. I get too excited.
I rarely buy cream cheese. But when I do, I always plan on making something with it. I have these grand ideas of making cheesecake, muffins, cupcakes...But they never pan out. I always end up leaving the cream cheese in the fridge, and it doesn't get used, until I find that it has expired. Sigh.
This ALMOST happened to this. Almost. I found it a few days before it expired. And I knew right away what I had to do with it.
Warning. These are pretty rich. And you will not be able to stop eating them. You will keep shoveling them in your mouth (preferably with a shovel) until they are gone. Well, at least that's what happened to me..

Ooh, these brownies look delicious.
Haha! I'd be excited too when I try to make swirl on my first brownies! 😉 I've never done it and always amused by everyone's creations. Looks really delicious and you made nice swirls. 🙂
Hi Cathleen, your cream cheese brownies look so good, very well baked. It sure taste heavenly with a cup of coffee.
Have a nice week ahead.
Oh my heavens! These brownies look so decadent... I want them so bad! These remind me of black bottom cupcakes that I made once or twice before. Gotta get back on that and make my boyfriend one happy man! Also, I tend to forget all the goods I hoard in the refrigerator until almost too late... then they have to be cooked into something, otherwise, bad tummy aches.
tempting looks 🙂
I'm the same and thanks for reminding me that there's a pack of cream cheese sitting in my fridge that I totally forgot about!Now I know what I'm going to do with it :)Your brownies look divine!
