Moist and Yummy! The chocolate and cream cheese had just the right balance. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't get that hard crusty edge on my brownies, yet they were done in the center. My zig zag marble swirl left much to be desired. Next time I think I might just drop the cream cheese mixture in dollops over the chocolate mixture to see if my zig zag doesn't turn out better (so I'm a bit handicapped..). Thanks for sharing! :)

This recipe is called "Baker's German Sweet Cream Cheese Brownies." That company put this recipe out way, waaay back on the back of the chocolate box. I have that original recipe from my mom. We grew up on them beginning in the 1960's.. I use lowfat cream cheese, BUT, you cannot use Fat Free: trust me. lol<br/><br/>Excellent, rich, indulgent and your company will eat them all up!!
