Marble Squares

The recipe I’m sharing today is my Dad’s favorite, or one of his favorites, he has many!  A from scratch brownie/cake with a cream cheese topping swirled though out before baking.  An elegant dessert for a special event or great way to show someone how much you love them!  Be sure to check on them towards the end of the baking time to be sure the cream cheese isn’t getting over browned.
