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. It makes a big batch and has a rich cream cheese layer in the center. —Barbara Nitcznski, Denver, Colorado

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter, cubed
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
FILLING:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Gradually add flour to chocolate mixture (batter will be thick). Stir in nuts if desired.
Spread half the batter evenly into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan; set aside.
In a small bowl, beat filling ingredients until blended. Gently spread over batter. Spoon remaining batter over filling; spread to cover.
Bake 45-50 minutes or until filling is set. Cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.
