Preheat oven to 350℉ (unless otherwise stated on your box) and grease a 9x13 pan.
Mix the brownie mix and ingredients on box according to the package directions. If your mix doesn’t include a pouch of chocolate syrup, you can enhance the flavor by adding one heaping tablespoon of chocolate syrup. (I usually use Hershey's)
Once combined, spread the batter evenly into the greased 9x13-inch pan.
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the egg, sugar, and vanilla until fully blended.
Pour this cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
Using a butter knife or spatula, gently swirl the two layers together to create a marbled effect. It may be necessary to gently lift some of the brownie batter up to the cream cheese layer in order to get a swirl.
Afterward, sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top and bake according to the brownie mix instructions.
Keep in mind it may take a minute or two longer than the box suggests.
The brownies are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool for about an hour before cutting into squares and serving.
