A fluffy cream cheese filling snuggled between two tiers of oh-so-chocolatey brownie then completed with a glaze of guess what?-chocolate! If you go jogging for the rest of the day, dig 100 ditches, or climb 100 staircases, you'll never notice how many calories are contained in one of these. (But they're worth every one!)
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, 1/3 cup cocoa, 2 eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup finely chopped nuts. Filling: 3 ounces softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Glaze: 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with foil; grease foil. In small saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in cocoa until smooth. In small mixer bowl, beat eggs; gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy. In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; add to egg mixture. Add cocoa mixture and vanilla; blend well. Stir in 1 cup nuts. Spread batter in prepared pan.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Make Creamy Filling: In small bowl, combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat to spreading consistency. Spread over one half of brownie; top with second half.
Make Glaze: In small saucepan, heat sugar and water to boiling. Remove from heat; immediately add chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Spread evenly over top of brownie sandwich; sprinkle with remaining nuts (I used grated white choclate). After glaze has set, cut into bars or squares.
Makes 24 bars.
