Calories:
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients the box calls for, usually eggs, oil, and water
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Orange food coloring
- Candy corn for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9-inch pan. Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box and spread it evenly in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in a few drops of orange food coloring until vibrant.
- Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, then drag a toothpick or knife through to create swirls without over-mixing.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- While still warm, gently press candy corn on top. Cool completely before slicing into squares.
