  • โ…“ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 oz semi sweet chocolate, chopped

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and egg, beat using an electric mixer until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
  • Drizzle the cream cheese filling in a grid pattern, then use a butter knife and drag it across the grid to create swirls.
  • Add in the remaining 1/3 cup of batter where you see fit. Swirl again with the knife.
  • Cook for 3 hours on HIGH. Turn off crock pot and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
