  1. Have loved these since I was a kid in the 1960's. This recipe came from the back of Baker's German Sweet Chocolate Baking Chocolate Bars from waaay back in the 60's. Thanks for posting it here. These are chocolately with the rich sweet cream cheese swirls here and there. NO FAIL!
     
  2. I used exact measurements & followed the instructions, except I left out the nuts & extracts. My 'brownie' turned out more like a cake...pretty dry one, that's why I added chocolate frosting to it. It tastes good even tho it's not a brownie. Tell me what I did wrong...Overbeat the eggs, stir the mixture too long...? I wanted to add a pic, but I wasn't able to due to technical issues.
