DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 egg, and milk until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, 2 cups white sugar, and vanilla. Mix in the remaining 3 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; mix into the batter. Stir in chocolate chips.
Remove 1 cup of the chocolate batter. Spread the remaining batter into the prepared pan. Spread the peanut butter filling over the top. Drop the reserved chocolate batter by teaspoonful over the filling. Using a knife, gently swirl through the top layers for a marbled effect.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out almost clean. Cool completely, then cut into bars.

These were WAY too greasy, and 1 c. of melted margarine was too much. The brownies were literally oozing with grease. I plan to try them again with less margarine. The brownies would've been rated tops, if not for the problem with the amount of margarine. :o)

These brownies were delicious! I took these to a party and they were gone within two hours. I accidently used one 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, so I added a little more peanut butter and sugar and they turned out just fine. I will definitely make again.

I'll give this 5 stars only after the modifications I made. Without them, I would say it's a 4 star...barely. First of all, save yourself time and don't put aside a cup of the chocolate batter. My brownies were prettier and had more of a marbled look after I spread the pb than it did after adding the cup of chocolate. The chocolate pretty much covered the pb completely. Also, these needed frosting in my opinion. I used the following recipe for frosting, and this made this a 5 star recipe! I got this from Blondies on this website: 1/4 cup butter softened 1/2 cup peanut butter 1.5 cups powdered sugar 1/4 cup milk To make the frosting, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup peanut butter together in a medium bowl. Mix in the confectioners sugar until smooth, then gradually stir in milk until a spreadable consistency is reached. Serve frosted brownies warm with ice cream. NOW you're talking 5-star!!:-) I made these a 2nd time without frosting and they tasted better this time. I didn't put the cup of chocolate on top, and they turned out pretty...I put a couple of spoonfuls of chocolate batter on top, not the whole cup.

I must admit that when these first came out of the oven and even after they had cooled for about an hour I was not impressed-I am a die-hard brownie fan too. About 5 hours later when I thought I would try another bite my opinion totally changed, these are great. I think that letting them cool for a while lets them become a bit fudgier and sweeter-they are really good-trust me, I just had one for breakfast. (Sidenote: brownies are a great way to start the day.) These are quick to put together and as far as presentation they look great. Try them out, this is a wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing it Michelle!

This recipe rocks! As-is, no subsitutions of modifications required! Cut them small, because they are rich, moist, chewy- and will go FAST! I think that ALLY99 possibly ran into technical difficulties the first time around because these surely DO NOT require frosting!! :-)

REALLY good brownies. I used 1 cup of peanut butter. Also put in an additional 1/4 cup of flour and cut back the butter by 1/4 stick. They were perfect!

They don't get much, if any, better than this: Thx Michelle! Absolutely perfect; thick, moist n rich. I made per your recipe other than using crunchy peanut butter. They baked equally beautiful and according to your time given. I might try pecans or walnuts next time n use smoothe peanut butter for a great variation. I will use this recipe frequently as I know people will enjoy it and ask for the recipe. :-)

These brownies were yummmy and GONE in my office!! This was my first time making brownies from scratch and they were very easy. Even I got the marbled effect going very well, using 3/4 cup of set side chocolate batter. Also, they had just a hint of peanut butter which I think made it fantastic for everyone but for a group that loves peanut butter, I would add more. And like everyone else said, it tasted WAY better the day after and I didn't chill it.
