Ingredients:

For the swirl:
1/2 c of peanut butter (homemade, smooth)
6 ozs of cream cheese; softened
1/3 c of sugar (golden brown)
1 egg (large)
1/2 tsp of vanilla
2 Tbsps of cornstarch

For the brownies:
2 ozs of chopped chocolate (semi-sweet)
6 Tbsps of butter (unsalted)
2 ozs of chopped chocolate (unsweetened)
2 fresh eggs (large)
1 c of refined sugar
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tsp of vanilla
3/4 c of flour (all purpose); sifted
1/2 c of chocolate flakes (semi-sweet)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven up to 350 degrees F. Grease up an 8 inch square pan w/ a nonstick cooking spray.

To make the swirl, beat all the ingredients (using electric mixer) in a medium-sized bowl till blended well and texture becomes smooth. Set aside.

To make the brownies, melt the butter with the semi-sweet chocolate and unsweetened chocolate on a saucepan, stirring constantly till it melts and texture becomes smooth. Take out from the heat and let it cool then beat in the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla; blend well. Stir in the all purpose flour and chocolate flakes. Make sure everything is well incorporated.

Pour into the pan a third of the brownie mixture to make a base. Alternately scoop the swirl mixture and the other 2/3 brownie mixture. Make a marble design by running a thin rod through the mixed mixture. Bake for about thirty minutes and let it cool completely before serving.
