Ingredients

• 1 package Duncan Hines Red Velvet Decadent Brownie Mix
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1/3 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. for metal and glass pans (325°F for dark or coated pans). Grease sides and bottom of pan with shortening or oil spray.
Combine brownie mix, egg, oil, water in large bowl. Stir until well blended (about 50 strokes). Spread into greased pan.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl melt the chocolate chips, about 1 minute on high power. Stop to check and stir. Heat in 10-second bursts until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Mix chocolate with the cream cheese frosting packet included in the Duncan Hines box.
Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the batter and swirl lightly with the tip of a table knife or a toothpick.
Bake for 35-38 minutes for 8"x8" pans or for 30-33 minutes for 9"x9" pans. Add 3-5 minutes for dark or coated pans. Or when toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge of pan comes out clean.
Cool brownies for at least an hour in the pan before slicing and serving to allow the chocolate to set fully.
Tip: To get the marble pattern shown, make five parallel lines of melted chocolate and then pull a knife or toothpick through the chocolate at a 90-degree angle.
