Mint Chocolate Freezer Brownies

Category: Brownies/Blondies

2 boxes Family Size Chewy Brownie Mix plus ingredients on the box to prepare the mixes
2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1 TBS peppermint or mint extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Few drops green food coloring

1.Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray the bottom with nonstick spray. Set aside.

2.In a large bowl, mix both brownie mixes, water, oil, and eggs with a wooden spoon until combined. Spread about 3/4 mix in prepared pan.

3.In the bowl of your mixer, beat the cream cheese with your whisk attachment until smooth. Add eggs, sugar, extract and food coloring and beat until smooth and combined.

4.Spoon cream cheese mixture over the brownies. Spoon remaining brownie batter randomly over the cream cheese. With a small knife, swirl the batter so the cream cheese and brownie batter become marbled.

5.Bake for about 40 minutes, until edges are brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not raw batter. Cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled. Peel off foil, cut, wrap, and store in freezer.
