Kirse's Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

One package brownie mix (I prefer dark chocolate or the one with the syrup pouch)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips

1) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of 9x13 pan.
2) Stir Brownie mix, water, oil, and 2 eggs in bowl using spoon. Spread in pan.
3) Beat cream cheese in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in vanilla and 1 egg JUST until blended (do not overmix, should be gloppy).
4) Plop cream cheese mixture over brownie batter in pan; cut through mixture with knife several times for marbled design. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
5) Bake 30-35 minutes or until cream cheese mixture begins to brown and toothpick comes out clean (be sure not to overcook - they are best rather gooey). Cool completely. Cut with plastic knife, store covered in fridge.
