M&M Brownies

By Deak

Ingredients

• 1 box (8 oz.) reduced fat cream cheese 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/8 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 package brownie mix (choose directions for the cake-style brownies) 1 cup M&M’s® Brand Chocolate Candies

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar. Add the egg, milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Spoon 2/3 of the brownie batter into a parchment-lined 9"x13" baking pan. Spoon the reserved cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Now scrape the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture. Swirl the tip of a knife through the batter to make a marbled effect. Press M&M’s® Brand Chocolate Candies into the batter.
3. Bake for 45-50 minutes in a preheated, 350°F oven until slightly moist in the center. Cool completely before cutting 8"x4" into 1 1/2" squares.
