I read most all of the reviews before proceeding to make this recipe for the first time. A lot of the reviews stated that there was not enough cream cheese mixture. Believe me...FOLLOW the recipe. DO NOT ADD more cream cheese mixture, as the brownies stay soggy and they look like they are not cooked. A hint when pouring the cheese mixture onto the brownies: pour it in stipes, or make 6-8 globs of the cream cheese..this makes for much easier marbelizing!!!!!!!!!!The five star rating is when I made them exactly according to the recipe!!

Took this to a Halloween party and the guys raved about them. Would recommend doubling the cream cheese mixture. I was only able to cover the center of my brownie mix.

My family loved this recipe-I like the fact that you can change the color of the icing for different holidays. I've doubled the recipe for 2 pans, I think I'll try a double recipe and for christmas and try using red and green for the icing for christmas!!

Tasted great, but mine didn't look like this. Orange color not that bright and didn't cover the whole area after mixing.

The frosting was very good. I was afraid it might be too rich, but it was the perfect compliment to the brownies. I used red and green food coloring for Christmas brownies.
