for the brownie batter:
4 ounces dark chocolate (very bitter) chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2/3 cup flour
for the marble:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup muscadine marmalade or jelly, room temperature

1
Set the oven to 350 degrees and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.
2
In a large glass bowl, combine the chocolate and butter and microwave in 30-second increments or until melted. Stir to combine. Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla and stir again. Add the eggs and stir until thoroughly incorporated. Lastly, add the flour and gently fold to combine.
3
Pour into the lined sheet pan and smooth into an even layer.
4
In another bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and flour and whisk together until smooth.
5
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Repeat with the marmalade. Use a wooden skewer or the tip of a sharp knife and swirl together the cream cheese, marmalade, and batter.
6
Place the sheet pan in the middle of the oven and bake until the mixture is set and the top of the brownies begins to crinkle, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
