I don’t mean to brag, but I have had a great day today! The kids were well behaved. I blogged, hit up Publix, and even Petsmart. Now, I want some chocolate.
As many of you have done, I bought 5 packs of Philly Cream Cheese today with that fabulous $5/5 Kraft Cheese Products coupon. I paid just $0.25 each. Now, I am thinking of all the wonderful, gooey things I could make….but today it needed chocolate.
Since the kids were so good, I told them they could have a treat. It was unanimous….BROWNIES! I decided to be a good little baker and tie the two together. Now, check out these super easy Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies.
Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies Printable Version
· 1 box of your favorite Brownie Mix ( I used gluten free Betty Crocker)
· 1 8 oz package of Cream Cheese Softened
· 1 egg
· 1/3 cup sugar
· 1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 ⁰ F.
Line a square 8×8 pan with aluminum foil.
Follow the directions on the brownie mix box and prepare the batter. (let sit in bowl)
In a separate bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Now place 2/3 of the brownie batter in the 8×8 pan.
Then spread the cream cheese batter evenly over the top.
Spoon the remaining brownie batter in different locations over the cream cheese. Take a butter knife and swirl together; without over mixing.
Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Cool before cutting.
I am having a problem with this part! These literally just came out of the oven, and I am ready to eat them NOW!

Do you come up with ALL your recipes on your own or do you get them from cookbooks, online, etc? I notice you never credit where the recipes comes from…just curious!
Nancy,
I am a huge collector of cookbooks! I sometimes will get ideas from cookbooks, online, or just family recipes. I usually change them around a bit. If I copy a recipe ingredient for ingredient, I do give credit.
Woohoo. I got 4 boxes of brownies for 50cents each and 5 things of cream cheese for .25 each, so looks like some cheap yummy brownies in our future!
Thanks for this recipe. I used to make a boxed version a long time ago. When you posted it at IHP, I made it that next day for our Mom’s Homeschool Mtg. It was so so good.
