Not enough cream cheese, and very very cakey. These are definitly NOT brownies. More like chocolate cake with a TINY bit of cream cheese added. Won't be making again... ;(

I don't know what I did wrong but we really didn't like these at all. Really didn't taste the cream cheese as expected.

I cheated on this and used a boxed brownie mix, but the cream cheese topping was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone loved them! Thanks!

This was a very good recipe overall!! I shortened the baking time to about 25-30 minutes, because they looked more than done (and they were). I would recommend adding more cream cheese by a few ounces next time. There didn't seem to be enough to me. But other than that, these brownies are awesome!!

Very good and moist! I like my brownies a bit gooie, so I always set the timer to about 5 minutes less than the recipe calls for. that way I can be sure to pull them out at just the right moment. I didn't have german sweet choc on hand, so I used semi sweet morsels instead. Can't wait to try this recipe again with the sweet chocolate. thanks!

These are pretty good, but they're not all that dense or rich (in my opinion). Also, I took them out after 30 minutes and they were a bit more than done.

These were yummy! I used semi-sweet chocolate and low-fat cream cheese. They were very moist and kept well. They were all gone in a few days!

I followed this recipe to the letter...and the result was bland, pale-colored brownies. Neither the chocolate nor the cream cheese was enough to make any flavor impact. The brownies weren't very thick - baked more like a cake. Try adding more flour to the cream cheese mix - that was too runny. The reason this recipe achieved such a high rating is the changes reviewers made accidently. Using chocolate chips or dark chocolate greatly enhances the chocolate flavor and brings out the subtleties of the cream cheese. Use as dark of a chocolate you can find - the sugar will compensate for the bitter flavor.

I wanted a thicker cheese layer so I increased the cream cheese to 8 oz while keeping the same amounts of sugar, flour, egg and butter. And I just topped the brownie with the cream cheese layer without swirling. That came out very well. Overall the brownie was extremely good, gooey and not too sweet (our family is the "less sweet the better" type). It stores very well in an airtight container, still gooey and chewy after almost 18 days in the fridge (I have one tiny piece left as proof). Have also doubled the brownie layer with an 8 oz cream cheese layer, baked in a 10 inch springform pan for 40 mins. Have tried double the brownie layer and double the 8 oz cream cheese layer....doesn't work. Too much cheese but that was just my own opinion. One thing though .... it's terribly difficult to cut. Tried many ways with : damp/dry cold knife; damp/dry warm knife, a length of string, plastic knife, rubber spatula.... and sorry haven't found a no-mess way yet. P.S. I cheated .... I cut 1/4 cup of sugar from every quantity of the brownie part. Have also mixed white and brown sugars in varying parts with no noticeable difference in the results.

Over all, not a bad brownie, but not one to write home about either. I will try again with a different type of chocolate perhaps - and maybe adding some chocolate chips to the batter. I also had trouble getting the middle done without overbaking the sides, but can play with that too.

Followed many reviewers' advice to increase the amount of cream cheese and chocolate, and these came out great. Soft and moist cream cheese top and chewy fudge brownie base. I used normal semi-sweet chocolate and it turned out just fine. Will certainly make again.

These brownies were okay. However, they were no better than a good boxed brownie mix, in my opinion. They were not worth the time and effort to make them from scratch.

The funny thing about this recipe: The very first time I made it, I misread the directions (or just got ahead of myself) and mixed EVERYTHING together except the melted chocolate. I didnt read that I was suppose to swirl in the cream cheese mixture. So I just poured the choc. on the batter in the pan and swired it around a bit. ..They were delicious! I didnt keep them for very long at all! ...However, the second time I made them, I did it the right way, and I must say, they werent neary as good as they were the first time. I was kind of disappointed!...So, I will keep this recipe, but the next time I make them, I will prepare them the way I did the first time (by mixing the cream cheese and brownie mixture together, then swirling in the melted choc.) Theres something about the cream cheese mixed in the batter that gives it a REALLY nice texture and taste that you just dont get when its separated....They'll be great! THANKS!!

Mmmm, first time making brownies that actually worked! I did leave the nuts out cause I hate nuts and I didn't have them, and I used a 9 inch pan instead, had to cut down baking down by 10 minutes, other than that, it was perfect [oh yeah, increase the choc and cream cheese, yum]

I made these for the second time last night. The first time I doubled the recipe and got confused as to what step I was on and ended up adding way too much sugar to the cream cheese mixture! The brownies tasted okay but were not great. This time I was very careful to follow all of the steps exactly (still made a double batch) and was rewarded with fantastic brownies. These are a bit more difficult than regular chocolate brownies but well worth the time and effort. I will definitely use this recipe again and again.
