Marbles Square are the perfect dessert to make when you have a large crowd. I used to make these all the time for family festivities. For some reason, the recipe had taken a back seat to some other desserts. But I brought it back recently much to the joy of my family.
This is perfect for bbqs and pool parties. The swirly cream cheese topping pairs just right with the chocolate cake situation. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
