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.

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:

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.
