Preparation
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with more butter.
- OPTION 1: If using prepared mix, make the brownie batter according to the package instructions.
- OPTION 2: If making the brownie batter from scratch, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla, eggs, and water and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top and swirl into the batter with a knife or skewer.
- Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer the brownie pan to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan and cut into 12 bars.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of sprinkles.
- Enjoy!
