4 oz. pkg. Baker’s German Sweet chocolate
3 Tbls. butter, softened
3 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened (bar not tub)
2 Tbls. butter, softened
1/4 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 Tbls. all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/2 t. vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. all-purpose unbleached white flour
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
Melt chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly (or use a double boiler). Set aside to cool while making the cream cheese mixture and brownie batter.
Using an electric mixer, mix 2 tablespoons butter with cream cheese, until creamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating well. Blend in one egg, 1 tablespoon flour and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer beat 2 eggs until thick and light in color. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beating until thick. Add baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup flour.
Blend in cooled chocolate mixture, nuts and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Spread about half the chocolate batter in a greased and floured 9 x 9" square baking pan. Add cheese mixture, spreading evenly. Top with tablespoons of remaining chocolate batter. Zigzag a spatula or butter knife through the batter to marble.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center, or when toothpick comes out clean. Cool and cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
