Brownies are a common dessert in our household - they're just about the only form of chocolate my husband will eat! I love this version that makes a big batch and has a rich cream-cheese layer in the center.

They were good,easy to make. But nothing special.If you have ingredient's, and in the mood for a rich dessert,then go for it. It would be better to add a thin layer of raspberry or strawberry preserves on top of the cream cheese,then top with the rest of the chocolate.
