Marble It!
Before you put the squares in the oven, try marbling them. In a separate bowl, use an electric beater to beat 8 ounces cream cheese with ⅓ cup sugar. Put small spoonfuls of the cream cheese over the top of the chocolate squares batter. Use a knife to pull the cream cheese through the batter, making a marbled effect. Bake as directed.
