Marbled Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies are a Decadent Treat!
Are you looking for a delicious Marbled Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies recipe that is fudgy with extra cream cheese swirls? You’re in luck because I adjusted several recipes to come up with this decadent version of the classic. When hubby told me how much he likes marbled brownies, I wanted to surprise him with a batch. He loves fudgy brownies best so I used my favorite fudge-type recipe and doubled the cream cheese swirl for good measure.
These brownies go great with some Homemade Hot Cocoa! Want to make up a tray of goodies for a chocolate lover? How about gifting these brownies along with some Italian Chocolate Christmas Cookies, Cream Filled Chocolates, Peppermint Patties, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs. Drool!

Here’s the Yummy Brownie Recipe…
To create these fudgy-creamy brownies, I used a fudge-type brownie recipe that I’ve been using for years. These treats are made with avocado oil (but you can use any vegetable oil or substitute butter for the oil and cream together with a mixer), home-raised eggs, organic flour, and organic cocoa powder. I buy quite a few of my bulk ingredients from the buying club, Azure Standard. (Referral link.) It allows me to purchase hard-to-find items and bulk goods at lower prices than locally.
I use a lot of cocoa powder and I really like this organic bulk bag purchased from Azure Standard. It goes a long way!
