Recipe Instructions

Combine chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in top of double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts. Set aside to cool.

Combine 2 tablespoons butter and cream cheese, creaming until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 egg, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside. Beat 2 eggs at medium speed of an electric mixer until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well.

Combine 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; add to egg mixture, mixing well. Stir in cooled chocolate, flavorings, and pecans.

Pour half of chocolate batter into a greased 8 inch square pan. Spread with cheese mixture; top with remaining chocolate batter. Cut through mixture in pan with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes.

Cool on wire rack; cut into squares. Yield: 16 brownies. From the Southern Living Cookbook
