Chocolate and Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

For these extra-special brownies, swirls of chocolate and cream cheese batter top the basic brownie base. Use German’s Sweet Chocolate or semisweet chocolate in the chocolate brownie batter.

I like to line the pan with foil so I can lift the whole flat of brownies out of the pan and slice them evenly. You may butter and flour the baking pan and slice them in the pan if you prefer.

The brownies are best stored in the fridge or freezer.
