Marble brownies from scratch/box

Mastering from-scratch brownies is one of those things that I have never been able to do. Therefore, anytime you eat delicious brownies I have provided, they came from a box. Sometimes I'll dress them up and make Marble Brownies: brownies from a box, cheesecake part from scratch.

Ingredients:

1 Box of your favorite brownie mix, plus whatever it calls for (eggs, oil, water)
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. In another bowl, cream the butter, sugar and cream cheese. Add the egg, flour and vanilla. Blend well. Pour the brownie mix into a pan (It will fit in an 8x8, but you might want a 13x9 for thinner brownies). Spoon the cheese mixture over it; drag a knife through the mixture if you want to create patterns. Bake according to the brownie package directions, but doubling the time. You can check for done-ness with a knife.
