Marbled Brownies

  
   I made these brownies last Sunday for the camp staff dinner. They were really good. A nice crisp outside with a soft warm inside. Yum!

   Here's what you will need if you would like to try them yourself:

Brownies:

• 1 cup oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa

Cream Cheese:

• 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz.)
• 5 tablespoons butter, softened (the real thing)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons milk

   If your oven takes forever to pre-heat like ours does you can go ahead and set it to 325. If yours is normal you can wait till a little later.

   First, mix the first four ingredients together in a large bowl. Sift the next four dry ingredients together and add to the egg mixture. This is your brownie mixture.

   If you have a normal oven you can pre-heat it to 325 now.

    Now for the cream cheese layer. Mix together your soft cream cheese and butter. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

   Spread half of the brownie mixture into a greased 9 x 13 in. pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top then spread the rest of the brownie batter on top. Gently run a knife around through the layers to create a marbled look.

   Bake for around 50 minutes. Start checking when they have cooked for 40-45 minutes.  They're done when a tooth pick comes out with no brownie batter. 
  
   Pour up a big glass of milk and enjoy!

  
I would love to hear if anyone tries these and how they come out.
