If there's such a thing as a klutzy cook - I'm it. I'll confess, my versions of these tasty recipes frequently do not match the picture on the author's website or the cookbook. I blame that fact on my lack of attention span and inability to read directions line by line. (Note my picture doesn't match the beautiful confection on Betty Crocker's website.)Ingredients:
1 box (1 lb 6.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme brownie mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
2 eggs or 3 eggs
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preparations:
- Heat oven to 350ºF.
- Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
- In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, pouch of chocolate syrup, oil, water and 2 eggs for fudgelike brownies (or 3 eggs for cakelike brownies), using spoon, until well blended. Spread in pan.
- In another medium bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in vanilla and 1 egg just until blended.
- Pour cream cheese mixture over brownie batter in pan; cut through mixture with knife several times for marbled design.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until cream cheese mixture begins to brown and toothpick inserted in brownie 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean or almost clean.
- Cool completely, about 1 hour.
As a side note, I took these to church to feed a bunch of teenage boys but I tipped the pan and seeing as how they were still warm - they ended up in a chocolate cream cheese lump at one end of the pan. Oh, well, I did try.
