Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

This recipe is not intended to be used as a weight loss supplement. It will help curb the appetite though during times of P.M.S. (perpetual munching spree) because they are very filling.

5 oz. cream cheese
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 (19.8 pckg.) brownie mix
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of on 13x9 inch pan.

In a small bowl blend the cream cheese, peanut butter, white sugar and 1 egg. Beat at medium speed until smooth.

In a large bowl combine the brownie mix, water, oil and 2 eggs. Beat together.

Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Drop filling by tablespoonfuls over brownie batter. Spoon remaining batter over filling. Pull a knife through the batter in wide curves, turn pan and repeat for a marbled effect.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely and cut into bars. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Variations: Drizzle with a little bit of fudge and caramel on the top after it has been removed from the oven.

Sprinkle the top with chocolate and peanut butter chips and then bake in the oven.
