"Always keep your words soft and sweet ... just in case you have to eat them."

These cheesecake brownies look as sweet as they taste and would be perfect for baby showers, Valentine's Day, a little girl's birthday party, or perhaps a breast cancer awareness event. 
They are simple to make, using a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake mix. You can make them by using a white cake mix, or if you want to punch up the flavor a bit, you can use a strawberry cake mix instead.

 Ingredients:

1 Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ Cake Mix white or strawberry
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon chocolate extract
2 tablespoons milk or water, plus 2 more tablespoons
1 teaspoon Betty Crocker™ gel food color Neon Pink
1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 325ºF.
Line a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick tin foil or with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. 
Combine cake mix, melted butter, egg, chocolate extract, 2 tablespoons milk and pink food coloring in a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
Reserve 1/2 cup of batter, then pour the rest into prepared pan. Spread batter in a thin layer in bottom of pan. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons milk into reserved batter, thinning it out.
Stir together cream cheese and sugar (or pulse in a food processor). Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Pour cheesecake filling over the brownie batter. Drizzle the reserved pink batter over cheesecake, then swirl using a fork or knife.
Bake uncovered for 18 minutes. Remove and cover pan with tin foil. Return to oven for 6-8 more minutes. The center will still jiggle slightly and will firm up as it cools.
Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, cut into 24 squares. Store any extras in refrigerator. Enjoy!
