Last night my husband had a mad craving for his favorite brownies. With a tiny bit of trepidation, I perused through our cupboards and refrigerator, trying to locate as many ingredients as possible to try and throw together a brownie mix. Let’s just say a trip to the grocery store is definitely in order.It turned out, I had just enough ingredients to make brownies and, because I had a surplus of cream cheese on hand, I decided to marble them. In my opinion, adding cream cheese makes just about anything taste better. It’s so smooth and creamy and, by adding just a little sugar, egg and vanilla, it is the perfect addition to any brownie mix.
