Marble Squares

My husband almost never ever eats any kind of dessert food, but he swears these are the greatest brownie ever.

½ cup (1 stick) butter
¾ cup water
6 Tbsp Baking Cocoa
2 Tbsp oil
2 cups flour
2 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 eggs, divided
½ cup sour cream
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
Chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat butter, water, oil and baking cocoa in sauce pan until butter is melted. Stir in combined flour, 2 cups of sugar, baking soda and salt. Add 2 of the eggs and sour cream; mix well.
Pour into greased and floured 15x10x1 inch baking pan. (or the closest you have to those measurements)

Beat cream cheese and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in small bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add the remaining egg; mix well. Spoon over chocolate batter; cut through batters with knife several times for marble effect. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake 25 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.


note: add extra Tbs oil if you want a heavier brownie like dessert. (with the called for 2 Tbs it is more like a cake but still so yummy)
