I make these brownies quite often for parties and I'm always being asked for
 the recipe so here goes:
         1       6-ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces (1 cup)
         6       tablespoons butter
         1/2     cup sugar
         2       beaten eggs
         1       teaspoon vanilla
         1/2     cup all-purpose flour
         1/2     teaspoon baking powder
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 In saucepan melt chocolate pieces and butter over low heat.  Remove from 
 heat.  Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; stir just till blended.  Stir together 
 flour and baking powder.  Add to chocolate mixture; stir just till dry 
 ingredients are moistened.
 Pour half of the batter into greased 9x9x2-inch baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 
 10 minutes.
 Remove from oven and set aside while preparing cheese filling.
 Cheese Filling 
         1       8-ounce package softened cream cheese
         1/2     cup sugar
         1       egg
         dash    salt
         1/2     cup chopped nuts
 In mixing bowl cream together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar.  Beat in 
 egg and dash salt.  Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
 Pour cheese filling over partially baked layer.  Carefully spoon remaining 
 half of brownie batter over filling.  Swirl slightly with knife, being 
 careful not to touch the bottom layer.
 Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.  Cool completely before trying to cut.  Makes 
 24 brownies.
 Due to the cream cheese content, these either have to be eaten quickly or 
 stored in the refrigerator.  Mine have never seen the inside of a refrigerator.
 Hope ya'll like them!
