A wonderful swirl of cheesecake turns a plain brownie mix into something special. Marbled Cheesecake Brownies are holiday ready with M&Ms® Brand Chocolate Candies on top.
Mmmm…..Marbled Cheesecake Brownies.
The holiday’s are upon us and that means loads of extra time in the kitchen for me, baking away.
I actually love the time I spend in the kitchen in the Fall and Winter months. The oven warming the house, playing music loudly, dancing with my kids across the kitchen floor to crack an egg into my mixer.
Yes, we do that. Yes, I know it’s strange. But I don’t care. We love it.
Some of my favorite gifts for the holiday’s come out of my kitchen or someone else’s. Baked treats are my favorite.
We make cookies, brownies, cakes and bars by the dozens during this season and we are never without a big huge tin full of baked goodness to share with family and friends who drop by.
I’ve already begun working on my holiday baking schedule and tested a few recipes for the season.
Recently, I whipped up a batch of delicious Marbled Cheesecake Brownies with M&Ms® Brand Chocolate Candies. They were a huge hit, moist and cake like chocolaty brownies with a swirl of cream cheese throughout.
I found the recipe for these Marbled Cheesecake Brownies on Bright Ideas where there are dozens of fun recipes for anyone and any holiday or occasion. Including more with M&Ms® Brand Chocolate Candies.
I love using them to get a festive look to an otherwise simple dessert. I love the holiday blends since they come in the colors of the season. They brighten up any dessert or baked good with their pretty seasonal colors.
