Super Easy Christmas Swirl Brownies

Ingredients:

1 package cake style brownie mix
1/4 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 extract. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the brownie mix according to instructions. Line a 9x13 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 over bake). Cool before cutting into squares.
