These brownies came out pretty good, but I found the shortbread to be much too rich. After I cut the brownies, the bottom of the pan was covered in pure grease. I think next time I make them I'll omit the lard, and cut the butter in half. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to the brownie mixture and cut the butter to 1/2 cup. I also omitted the rum from the cream cheese mixture.
