Cherry Bliss Brownies are marbled with sweetened cream cheese and baked with a topping of cherry pie filling...perfect for a Valentine's Day treat!
Cherry Bliss Brownies
1 (19.5 oz.) package brownie mix
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup water
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
5 tbsp. butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. flour
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, prepare brownie mix according to package directions using the oil, 3 lightly beaten eggs, and water. Spread batter in a 9x13 baker sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until fluffy. Add sugar. Beat in additional 2 eggs, flour, and vanilla. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over brownie batter in pan. Use a knife to gently cut through batters to create a marble pattern. Spoon cherry pie filling over top. (See photos below.) Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before serving. When completely cooled, the brownies come out of the pan cleanly making it easy to cut them into shapes if desired.

Use a knife to gently cut through batters to create a marble pattern. I put the knife in vertically, slightly angle it, and then swirl it through the batters in a ribbon pattern:
