    3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup margarine or butter
    4 eggs

    Cocoa Glaze -- (recipe follows)

    Chocolate Cheese Filling:
    1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese -- softened
    1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup milk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup chilled whipping (heavy) cream

    Cocoa Glaze:
    1 cup powdered sugar
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    2 tablespoons milk

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 400º. Mix flour, cocoa and sugar. Heat water and margarine
    in 3-quart saucepan to a rolling boil. Stir in flour mixture. Stir
    vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute.
    Remove from heat. Beat in eggs; continue beating until smooth. Drop
    dough by about 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
    With spatula, shape each into finger 4 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches
    wide.

    Bake until puffed and darker brown on top, 35 to 40 minutes; cool.

    Cut off tops; pull out any filaments of soft dough. Fill eclairs with
    Chocolate Cheese Filling; replace tops. Spread with Cocoa Glaze just
    before serving. Refrigerate any remaining eclairs.

    Chocolate Cheese Filling:
    Heat chocolate chips in small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring
    occasionally, until melted; cool. Beat cream cheese, sugar, milk and
    vanilla until smooth and creamy. Stir in chocolate. Beat whipping cream
    in chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in chocolate mixture.

    Cocoa Glaze:
    Mix powdered sugar and cocoa. Stir in milk until smooth. If necessary,
    stir in additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until of desired
    consistency.
