As your child is getting ready for bed, he or she yells down the stairs, “Hey, Mom. I forgot to tell you I need to take a dessert for school tomorrow.” Well, you have a reputation to maintain as the mom who makes cool desserts, so you can’t just stop by the grocery store and pick up a box of cookies. Luckily, you can whip up some of these Super Easy Christmas Swirl Brownies and still get a decent night’s rest.

Ingredients:

1 package cake style brownie mix
1/ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup cream
1 package of cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 bag M&Ms holiday edition

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the egg, cream and vanilla extra. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the brownie mix according to instructions. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and then scoop 2/3 of the batter into the pan. Place ½ cup of the M&Ms over the brownie batter. Then spoon the cream cheese mixture over the M&Ms and batter. And finally scoop the remaining brownie mixture over that. Using the tip of a knife swirl the mixture for a marbled effect.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes at 350F until baked through but still moist (do not overbake). Cool before cutting into squares.

On the cream cheese, is this supposed to be the 3oz or the 8oz package? It seems like the 8 oz would be too much, maybe?
