Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 pkg 4 ounces German sweet chocolate
• 3 tbsp butter or margarine
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp almond extract
• ½ cup chopped nuts
• 2 tbsp filling butter or margarine
• 1 pkg filling; 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup filling sugar
• 1 filling egg
• 1 tbsp filling all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp filling vanilla extract

Method

1. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Set aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the sugar, beating until thick. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the egg mixture. Stir in the melted chocolate, extracts and nuts. Pour half of the batter into a greased 8-in. square baking pan; set aside.
2. For the filling, beat the butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until light. Gradually add the sugar, beating until fluffy. Blend in the egg, flour and vanilla; mix well. Spread over the batter in the pan.
3. Dollop the remaining batter over the filling. With a knife, cut through the batter to create a marbled effect. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the brownies test done. Cool. Store in the refrigerator.
