    Recipe




    Chocolate Mixture:
    Butter a9-inch square pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    Melt the chocolate with the butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
    Beat the eggs until foamy. Add the sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until light
    lemon-colored. Beat in the chc)colate mixture and then the dry ingredients; mix well.
    Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture. To the remainder, stir in l/2 cup of the nuts. Spread
    this mixture into the prepared pan.

    Cheese Mixture:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat the cream cheese with the butter until smooth. Add
    the vanilla and sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in the egg. Spread cheese mixture over
    the chocolate layer. Place heaping tablespoons of the reserved 3/4 cup chocolate mixture
    over the cheese, forming 8 or 9 mounds. With a small spatula or knife, cut through the
    mounds in a zigzag layer, going almost but not quite through to the bottom. Sprinkle
    with the remaining 1/4 cup nuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and frost
    immediately. Let set until frosting firms up and then cut.

    Frosting:
    Melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the cocoa until dissolved. Add sugar, milk, and
    vanilla. Stir until smooth. Add more milk if needed to make a soft spreading constency.
    Frost hot brownies and let set until frosting is firm before cutting.
