From: Theresa=Daniels%Portable%PCPD=Hou@bangate.compaq.com Date: Fri, 5 Nov 1993 21:11:42 GMT I make these brownies quite often for parties and Im always being asked for the recipe so here goes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In saucepan melt chocolate pieces and butter over low heat. Remove from heat. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; stir just till blended. Stir together flour and baking powder. Add to chocolate mixture; stir just till dry ingredients are moistened. Pour half of the batter into greased 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside while preparing cheese filling. Cheese Filling: In mixing bowl cream together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in egg and dash salt. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Pour cheese filling over partially baked layer. Carefully spoon remaining half of brownie batter over filling. Swirl slightly with knife, being careful not to touch the bottom layer. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Cool completely before trying to cut. Makes 24 brownies. Due to the cream cheese content, these either have to be eaten quickly or stored in the refrigerator. Mine have never seen the inside of a refrigerator.
