QUICK Strawberry Chocolate Brownies

   Dress up a packaged brownie mix with strawberries and a banana and you'll have a super spring dessert.  Because of the cream cheese frosting the brownies must be stored in the refrigerator.

   12  medium strawberries
     1  ripe medium banana
     2  beaten eggs
     1  (20 1/2 oz) package walnut brownie mix
  1/3   c water
  1/4  c cooking oil
     1  (8 oz) container soft-style cream cheese with strawberry
1 1/2  c sifted powdered sugar

   Remove stems and hulls from strawberries.  Mash together strawberries and banana;  set aside.

   In a large mixing bowl stir together eggs, brownie mix, water and oil just until moistened.  Stir in strawberry mixture.

   Pour into a lightly greased 13x9x2" pan.

   Bake in a 350 oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until brownie springs back when lightly touched.

   Cool. For frosting, in a small mixer bowl beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth (frosting will be soft).

   Spread over brownies.  

   To serve, cut into bars.

   Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
