Cream Cheese Brownie Cups
These Cream Cheese Brownie Cups are much like my Brownie Bites. I start with a brownie mix. Occasionally, when I’m pressed for time, I use shortcut methods to cook and bake. There is nothing wrong with using a boxed mix.
As well, some people don’t like to cook or bake, but at times they’re asked to contribute to a school party or such. This is a quick and simple recipe for those times. If you have a blue-ribbon-award-winning brownie recipe, of course, you can use it instead of a mix.
This is the type of brownie mix I use for this recipe. Be sure to get the brownie mix that makes enough for a 9×13 inch pan. (A lot of the mixes are for an 8×8 pan.) Then you’ll need ingredients that it is called for on the package for the fudgy brownies. Most mixes will have afudgy mix or a ‘cake-like’ mix, I used the recipe for the fudge mix.

Paula, loving how you used a brownie mix… so simple! Besides, now I’m needing this for my brownie/cheesecake cravings this weekend!!! 😉
Seriously, when teachers call me last minute this is my go-to
We all need tasty treats that are easy to whip up and I’m totally loving these 🙂 They look so good!
Those caught my eye in the party list. Like you, I know people who will get in a snit because you used a boxed brownie mix. Others would get upset because eggs and dairy were used. I think we get too judgmental about other bloggers. The idea is a great one and can be adapted to suit.
Thanks so much. Love your outlook, we can’t please everyone, but I love that you can take ideas and alter them to your tastes and inspirations. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!
Paula, these look sinfully delicious. I’d love it if you shared these at What’d You Do This Weekend.
Have a great week,
Linda

Thank you Tanya. These are my go-to when teachers ask for something, you can ‘fancy’ them up with so many toppings.
