3. In separate bowl, mix sugar and cream cheese until no lumps remain. Stir in egg and vanilla. Pour over brownie batter. Cut through batter with knife several times for a marbled effect.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until cream cheese topping is slightly browned.

Review: Before these brownies I was of the mindset that brownies from a box were the best tasting brownies ever. Now however, these are the best brownies ever.
