Ingredients:

1 package cake style brownie mix
1/ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup cream
1 package of cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 bag M&Ms holiday edition

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and cream cheese until fluffy.  Add the egg, cream and vanilla extra.  Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the brownie mix according to instructions.  Like a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and then school 2/3 of the batter into the pan.  Place ½ cup of the M&Ms over the brownie batter.  Then spoon the cream cheese mixture over the M&Ms and batter.  And finally scoop the remaining brownie mixture over that.  Using the tip of a knife swirl the mixture for a marbled effect.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes at 350F until baked through but still moist (do not overbake).  Cool before cutting into squares.

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups flour
2/3 cups brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter
½ cup chopped nuts
1 jar (10 ounce size) maraschino cherries

Directions:

Drain cherries and reserve 4 tablespoons juice.  Roughly chop cherries and set aside.  In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. In a separate bowl cream together butter, sugar, eggs and the 4 tablespoons cherry juice.  Mix well until fully combined.  Add the butter and sugar mix to the flour mixture and mix well.  Then gently fold in chopped cherries and nuts.

Lightly grease a 9-inch loaf pan and scoop batter into pan, spread evenly.

Bake bread in a preheated oven at 350F for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and baked through.  Remove from pan and cool on wire rack for 15 minutes.

4 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Directions:

Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.  Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom.  In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon.  Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

The following morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling.  Pour over bread and egg mixture.  Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
