These chocolatey, colorful brownie bars are a great way to celebrate the holidays!
What You Need:
1 box (8-ounces) cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/8 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package brownie mix (choose directions for the cake-style brownie)
1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
Parchment paper
What To Do:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar. Add the egg, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Set aside.
2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Spoon 2/3 of the brownie batter into a parchment lined 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan. Cover the batter with 1 1/2 cups of M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays.
3. Spoon reserved cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Now scrape the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture. Swirl the tip of a knife through the batter to make a marbled effect. Press remaining 1/2 cup M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays into the batter.
4. Bake for 45-50 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven until slightly moist in the center. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.
Makes 24 2-inch brownies.
