Swirled Cheesecake Brownies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the package. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

3. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and a few drops of the green gel food coloring in a medium bowl. Use a hand beater to beat the mixture until well combined and the color is evenly distributed.

4. Place dollops of the cheesecake mixture onto the top of the brownie batter.

5. Dip a butter knife, held straight up vertically, through the cheesecake dollops and drag the knife horizontally from one side of the pan to the other. Repeat this process in rows horizontally. Then repeat it in rows vertically.

6. Bake the brownies for 20-30 minutes or until the edges are brown and the center is set.

7. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before cutting, about 30 minutes. Use a shamrock cookie cutter to cut the brownies into shamrock shapes.

8. Place the dark chocolate melting wafers into a piping bag. Heat in the microwave, checking ever 30 seconds, until melted. Pipe a small Mickey Mouse onto the top of each shamrock. Enjoy immediately or keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
