I made these brownies for Wilbert to take to the congregational meeting at church last night, and apparently they were a big hit. He came back with an empty platter and a few requests for the recipe. So, here it is.
Cream
Cheese Brownies
Brownies:
1 cup butter or margarine
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)
Cream Cheese Filling:
2-8oz packages cream cheese softened
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg
1) Heat oven to 350. Grease and
9X13 pan.
2) Melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool while making cream cheese filling.
3) For cream cheese filling, beat all of the ingredients together. Set aside.
4) Beat chocolate mixture, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat in flour and salt. Stir in nuts.
5) Spread half of brownie batter in the bottom of the pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. I sprinkled some chocolate chips on top of the batter. Drop remaining batter over filling and carefully spread over cream cheese layer.
6) Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Store covered in refrigerator.
