BAKE MODE:
Prevent your screen from going dark while you bake.
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, egg, 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) melted butter, water and vanilla until combined. Fold in 1 cup of the cream cheese chips. Spread batter in prepared pan.
Bake for 19 to 21 minutes, or until the edges are set (the center of the brownie will be fudgy). Cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup cream cheese chips in a microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50%) for 30 seconds. Stir, then heat again in 15-second increments until smooth and melted. Add the cream cheese, stirring well. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar.
Frost the brownie and chill for 10 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
Cut into 16 bars and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
