These are TERRIFIC! I did have a bit of a time getting the cream cheese mixture to marble as it was much thicker than the batter, but boy was it worth it! Great tasting, not difficult to make what more can you ask for? -
Made these for a teacher appreciation baked good basket and those were gone in no time. Had some left over and my kids loved them - asking, when can I make those brownies again? Easy too. -
Mizz Nezz, you've done it again! These wonderful bars are 1st. rate! Couldn't believe how easy they are to mix up, and bake...I did use ff cream cheese, whipped it with the mixer, and slowly added the sugar...Then, it was real easy to "blob" on top of the batter, and squiggle it with a knife to marble! They turned out yummie! Thanks a bunch for sharing...I will be making these again...soon! Laudee -
Sorry, but we didn't care for these a whole lot. The name "bars" doesn't really apply. It's still just cake with cream cheese instead of frosting. I didn't have a 15x10 pan, so I put some in a 13x9 pan, and then a little bit in an 8x8 pan also, because I wanted them to be flat like bars, not fluffy like cake. Good thing I did that. Also, as soon as I took them out of the oven, I pressed them down with a pot holder so they would be more dense. They do look pretty on top.

These were a quick treat to make up for the girls' troop meeting. I did have some difficulty getting the cream cheese mixture to blend into the batter, am wondering if a Tbsp or so of milk might help while still letting it bake up firm enough. But it's definitely something to keep on hand for a quick and easy dessert. I think it might be good with a carrot/spice cake or perhaps even strawberry, just for a twist. Thanks!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
