Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 package (about 19 ounces) brownie mix
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 eggs at room temperature, divided use
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.Stir together brownie mix, oil, 1 of the eggs, and water just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, vanilla, remaining 1 egg, sugar, and flour until well-combined. Drop by tablespoons evenly on top of brownie layer. Use a butter knife to swirl the cheesecake mix into the brownie layer. Sprinkle top evenly with chocolate chips.
Bake about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Cool completely to room temperature. Cut into bars and serve.
