Mint Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies


This is a variation of the one-bowl brownies recipe from the baker's unsweetened chocolate package, which is my go-to brownie recipe, made better by the addition of melted mint chips. If you want to go really minty, you could add a little dash of peppermint extract to the mix, but i think it was pleasantly minty without it.

Steps


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil , then grease the foil.
In a large bowl , melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together.
Set aside and let cool about 10 minutes.
Add sugar , vanilla , and 4 eggs to chocolate mixture , and stir until well-combined.
Add 1 cup flour and stir until flour is completely incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl , melt 1 cup green mint chips.
Add softened cream cheese , 1 egg , and 2 tablespoons flour , and beat on medium speed until mixture is well-combined.
Spread the chocolate mixture into the greased foiled pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the mint / cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate and swirl a knife around the pan several times to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees , or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with fudgy crumbs.
