1/4 cup sugar
1 egg

Brownie: Add melted butter to a large bowl and add the sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, food coloring. Whisk in the eggs. Fold in the flour until combined. Spread in the pan and reserve 1/4 cup of the batter for the swirl.Cream cheese layer: Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gently spread the cream cheese layer on top of the brownie batter in the pan. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer. Using a toothpick, drag the tip through the cream cheese mixture to create a swirl pattern. Bake the brownies for 30 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

Hi Danielle,
I saw these in the pictures on Facebook and I would love to feature them in our Christmas series (starts Friday!). Please contact me at theluckywife {at} thesaturdayeveningpot {dot} com to let me know if this would be okay with you. I think these would be beautiful for Christmas with the red and white coloring and the pretty swirls.
Thank you!
