Wisconsin Cream Cheese Brownies

Relatively easy and delicious.

You will need:
4oz Baking Chocolate (Sweet)                     1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
5 Tbsp. Butter                                               1/2 Tsp. Salt
3 oz. Low Fat Cream Cheese                       1/2 Cup Flour (For the dough)
1 Cup Sugar                                                  1/2 Cup Nuts (optional)
3 Eggs (or substitute)                                    An 8 inch pan (recommended)
1 Tbsp. Flour                                                 1 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla


Preheat oven to 350˚


In a small bowl, melt the chocolate and 3 tablespoons of butter using a stove or a microwave and let it cool.
In another bowl, cream the last 2 tablespoons of butter with the cream cheese, gradually adding 1/4 cup of the sugar. Add and blend in an egg, the tablespoon of flour and the vanilla. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs, and the remaining (3/4 Cup) sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup flour. Blend in the chocolate mixture and nuts if preferred. Pour 1/2 of the chocolate mixture onto the pan and spread it. Add spoonfuls of the cream cheese, and mix regularly over the chocolate and spread thinly with a spatula. Add the remaining chocolate. If you'd like to marble the brownies, lightly zig-zag with a table knife without touching the bottom of the pan.

Bake for 32-35 minutes and enjoy!
