CREAM CHEESE AND KAHLUA BROWNIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

Cheesecake Filling:
1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
5 tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp Kahlua or other coffee liqueur

Brownies:
1 pkg brownie mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
2 large eggs
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese, butter, sugar, egg and Kahlua on low speed until well combined. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, oil, Kahlua, and eggs. Stir with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are mixed well. Turn batter out into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.

Spoon small dollops of the cream cheese filling over the top of the chocolate batter, and using a thin spatula or knife, swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
Bake for 27 to 32 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
