Cheesecake & chocolate? A match made in heaven!!

In anticipating of going to my matron of honor's house tomorrow night for some serious Wii playing, I decided that I would bring dessert! I baked off a batch of these yummy cream cheese brownies which are basically cheesecake brownies.

The layer of cream cheese filling on top is soft and gooey and the chocolate brownie is incredibly fudgey and rich. Mmmm, I've found a hit!

I'm thinking that next time I make these, I will swirl the cheesecake layer into the chocolate one for a bit of a swirled look! I guess that means I will be forced into making these again. Darn ;)

Enjoy :)
