Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies


This weekend I decided to do some brownies. Since I started a diet a week ago (I'm down 3 lbs. already, yay me!) I looked for a light recipe for brownies. I used a recipe from WeightWatchers.com, since I've followed the program before (the recipe can be found here). As any brownie recipe, they were easy to prepare and smelled delicious while baking. What were the results:
  1. Appereance: They looked really good. I'm no expert doing swirls since it was my first time doing it. However, they didn't have that flaky top texture that usually brownies have. Therefore, I give it a A-.
  2. Taste: It was good a good taste, for a light version of a brownie. The chocolate and cream cheese were a nice combination. However, the texture was horrible. It had a weird texture, it was chewy but in a bad way. I'm not sure if the cooking time had something to do with it but I did the standard toothpick check.
Overall, I guess I'll better stick to the standard brownie recipe. Brownies are one of those things that we shouldn't alter.
