Marble Brownies

Ingredients

For the brownie:

• 1 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream

For the swirl:

• 8 oz. softened cream cheese
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg

Topping:

• 6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add butter, water, and chocolate to a saucepan, and bring to a boil (then remove from heat). In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add the chocolate mixture to the flour mixture. In a separate bowl, mix eggs and sour cream, and then add this to the chocolate mixture. Pour into a greased and floured 13 x 9 inch pan. Combine cream cheese and sugar, mixing until well blended. Mix in egg. Spoon cream cheese mixture over chocolate batter, and cut through batter several times with a spatula for the marble effect. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Note

This is a family recipe of Tori’s. Sometimes we’ve made it with 2 oz. chocolate, 1 cup water, and 8 oz. of sour cream, and that’s also delicious.
