Rachel Cooks...Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Marbled Brownies

YUM!
 
I found the recipe for these delicious brownies here. The recipe makes its own brownie mix....I cheated a little and used a pre-made mix, you know, like, from a box.

If you're in a more authentic mood, here's the recipe for the chocolate brownie part:

8 oz unsalted butter – (230 grams)
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar (447 grams)
1 1/4 cups Dutch process cocoa (or European Style)
1 teaspoon salt (5 ml)
1 teaspoon baking powder (5 ml)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (15 ml)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour (192)
1 cup chocolate chips (170 grams)

And here is the peanut butter mixture:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened (90 grams)
1/3 c. peanut butter (85 grams)
1/4 c. sugar (50 grams)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (5 ml)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (180 C) Line a 13×9 inch pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper.

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high. When butter is melted, stir in the sugar. Return the mixture to the microwave and heat until mixture is very hot but not bubbling (1 minute). Stir well to help dissolve some of the sugar – mixture should appear shiny.

Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Add the eggs, beating till smooth; then add the flour and chips, stirring until combined. Spoon ¾ of the batter into the prepared pan.

Prepare peanut butter mixture by beating “Peanut Butter Mixture” ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter mixture over brownie batter, then drop remaining brownie batter of peanut butter mixture – not covering it entirely but creating kind of a big speckled pattern. Gently drag a knife through top to create a pretty marbled effect.
Bake the brownies for 28 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out dry.

Remove them from the oven and after 5 minutes, loosen the edges with a table knife. This helps prevent sinking as they cool. Cool completely (and chill for better cutting) then cut and serve.

Delicious!
