Ingredients:
| For the Brownie Batter | |
|---|---|
| 1 cup margarine | |
| 4 cups sugar | |
| 2 eggs | |
| 4 tsp vanilla extract | |
| 2 cups self-rising flour |

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven 🌡️: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s ready for baking perfection!
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy serving later on.
-
Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside for later.
-
Melt Chocolate and Margarine: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and margarine together until smooth. This creates a luscious chocolatey base for your brownies.
-
Mix Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Add Flour: Gradually add the self-rising flour to the batter, mixing well after each addition. This ensures a tender and perfectly textured brownie.
-
Layer the Batter: Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. This creates the first layer of your double delight!
-
Add Cream Cheese Filling: Next, gently spread the prepared cream cheese filling over the brownie batter layer. This creamy addition adds a delicious contrast of flavors.
-
Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese filling. This creates the top layer, sealing in all that deliciousness.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on them – they’re ready when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
-
Cool and Serve 🍰: Once baked to perfection, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish at room temperature. This allows them to set before cutting into squares.
-
Enjoy Your Double Delight! 🎉: Once cooled, slice into squares and serve up these decadent Double Delight Brownies to delight your taste buds and transport you back to the nostalgic flavors of the ’70s!
These brownies are perfect for sharing at parties, potlucks, or simply indulging in a sweet treat at home. Enjoy the rich, fudgy chocolate combined with the creamy, tangy cream cheese filling for a dessert that’s truly irresistible! 🍫✨
