Mint Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup unsalted butter (1-1/2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 cup guittard mint chocolate chips, melted (about 6 oz.)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil, then grease the foil (cooking spray works well).
In a large bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together (you can do this in a double boiler or in the microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes). Set aside and let cool about 10 minutes.
Add sugar, vanilla, and 4 eggs to chocolate mixture, and stir until well-combined.
Add 1 cup flour and stir until flour is completely incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, melt 1 cup green mint chips (again, on a double-boiler setup or in the microwave).
Add softened cream cheese, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons flour, and beat on medium speed until mixture is well-combined (it will be a little fluffy and thick).
Spread the chocolate mixture into the greased foiled pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the mint/cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate and swirl a knife around the pan several times to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with fudgy crumbs (DO NOT overbake).
