Marbled Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    19 1/2 ounces brownie mix
    1 egg
    1/4 cup oil
    6 ounces cream cheese, softened
    5 tablespoons butter, softened
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    2 tablespoons flour
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    Frosting
    3 tablespoons margarine or 3 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350* and grease 9x13 baking pan.
    Mix brownie mix as directed -- adding 1 egg and 1/4 cup oil, or whatever your mix's directions say. Set aside.
    Mix softened cream cheese and softened butter until creamy. Add sugar, 2 eggs, flour and vanilla.
    Pour half of brownie mix into greased pan. Pour all of cream cheese mixture over this; spoon remaining brownie mix on top, and spread as best you can - it will be thick and likely won't cover all of the cream cheese layer.
    Swirl together with a knife.
    Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes.
    For frosting: Melt margarine or butter. Add cocoa, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla; whisk until your desired thickness. Can add more powdered sugar for a thicker icing.
    *Hint: I sift the powdered sugar into the mixture; it helps prevent a 'lumpy' appearance since it's a thinner icing.
