Marbleized Brownies Recipes

MARBLED BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350* and grease 9x13 baking pan.
• Mix brownie mix as directed -- adding 1 egg and 1/4 cup oil, or whatever your mix's directions say. Set aside.
• Mix softened cream cheese and softened butter until creamy. Add sugar, 2 eggs, flour and vanilla.
• Pour half of brownie mix into greased pan. Pour all of cream cheese mixture over this; spoon remaining brownie mix on top, and spread as best you can - it will be thick and likely won't cover all of the cream cheese layer.
• Swirl together with a knife.
• Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes.
• For frosting: Melt margarine or butter. Add cocoa, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla; whisk until your desired thickness. Can add more powdered sugar for a thicker icing.
• *Hint: I sift the powdered sugar into the mixture; it helps prevent a 'lumpy' appearance since it's a thinner icing.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Butter and line a 23cm square brownie tin (or a similar size rectangular tin) and heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the dark and white chocolates into two separate large bowls and add half of the butter to each. One bowl at a time, heat in the microwave on High for 1½ mins, stirring halfway, until the chocolate and butter are both melted. Alternatively, melt over a pan of simmering water (making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl). Stir until the chocolate and butter are totally incorporated.
• Add 150g sugar and 2 beaten eggs to each bowl, then beat until smooth. Now stir 50g of the flour into the dark chocolate mix and the remaining 90g into the white mix.
• Spoon tbsps of the batter into the tin, alternating dark and white chocolate to make a patchwork pattern of blobs. Once the bottom of the tin is covered, go over the first layer, spooning white on top of the dark blobs and dark on top of the white. To marble the brownies, pull a skewer through the pan several times to make feathery swirls.
• Bake for 35 mins or until the middle of the brownie is just set and the white chocolate patches on top have a pale golden crust. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into 16 squares. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Fun Fact: Throughout the Colorado State Capitol in Denver is the rare and priceless Colorado Rose Onyx, commonly called Beulah Red Marble. Cutting, polishing, and installing the marble in the Capitol took six years, from 1894 to 1900. It is said the only known supply (near Beulah, Colorado) was completely used up in the capitol, but some sources claim enough of the marble was made available for the old McClelland Library and the Pueblo County Courthouse to have fireplace trims of it.
