I used two packs of the triple chocolate mix (from the big box you can buy at Costco) and one package of cream cheese for a 13"x9" pan. Below is a recipe that is quick and easy to follow.
Ghirardelli Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
Brownie Batter
2 packages Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Cream Cheese Swirl Batter
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
Prepare 2 pouches Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix
as directed and spoon batter into lightly greased 13x9x2-inch pan; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, mix 8 ounces cream cheese and
1/3 cup sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add 1 egg and continue to mix on
medium speed 1 minute or until smooth. Spoon cream cheese mixture over batter.
Swirl with knife for marbled effect.
Bake at 325° for 40-50 minutes.
Note: If you are using an
8x8, 9x9, or 11x7 pan, use one pouch of brownie mix, 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup
vegetable oil and one egg. Use the same amount of cream cheese batter as above.
Bake for 35-45 minutes.
