Oh my goodness. These are absolutely the best brownies ever. I wasn't sure because of the cream cheese but these were fantastic. I only cooked mine for 30 minutes so they will still be alittle bit moist in the middle. This recipe is definately a keeper for my family. Thanks for the great recipe.

THESE ARE THE BEST BROWNIES I HAVE EVER TASTED. THEY ARE AMAZING. I NORMALLY ONLY DO BROWNIES FROM A MIX BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A PAIN BUT SOOOOO WORTH THE TROUBLE OF MAKING THEM HOMEMADE. WILL MAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN..ADDICTIVE!

Very good! Gone very quickly even though they never made it from a pan to a plate. Too much peanut butter/cream cheese mixture to make it look marbled but nobody seemed to care. Definitely half the butter amount or else it's too greasy. Overall very good though!

i made this receipe a little healthier and it came out excellent! i replaced the margarine with apple sauce, i used a cup and a half brown sugar instead of 2 cups, i used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup white flour, and replaced the 3 eggs with mashed banana. also, i added some pecans in between the layers. it turned out great. the peanut butter taste is not too strong (which i liked, and i think my husband will like it, too.)

Very, very good. For my own tastes I'll increase the preanut butter for a bigger punch of flavor, but I got rave reviews on these and really enjoyed them as-is. I didn't have a problem with the amount of butter: I think all the ratios are perfect, one of the best scratch brownies I've ever made. It fills the 13x9 pan with a great thick brownie, which is rare - usually they're too thin for my tastes in the larger pan. Thanks so much for sharing :)

These are probably the best brownies I have had to date! I actually forgot the chocolate chips, but I don't think I would use them. They were the perfect, soft & chewy consistency without them, and I think with them it would be too gooey. Usually brownies are almost too chocolatey for me. I think the peanut butter toned this down a bit without making them taste too much like peanut butter. Definitely 5 stars!

Not too terribly impressed with how this recipe turned out. The chocolate part was a little too cakey and blah, and the peanut butter part was severely lacking in peanut butter taste. I would definitely double the amount of peanut butter next time, and do something (not sure what) to the chocolate part. Frosting them with a chocolate frosting saved them a little.

Very good. I increased the peanut butter and decreased the butter and these were delicious. I like cakey brownies, not fudgey ones, and that's what these were.

Words cannot describe how amazing these brownies are! They were the absolute hit of the graduation party that we brought them to. They were incredibly moist, not cake like at all. The peanut buter layer was just as good, gooey, mosit and peanut buttery. I topped them off with Caroline's chocolate fudge frosting also from this site. And finally after chilling them to harden the frosting I cut them into squares and topped them with crumbled mini resee's peanut butter cups. They looked just a great as they tasted! I did change them just a little. Here's what I did: I used a whole 8 oz. brick of cream chese, upped the peanut butter to 2/3's cup, only added 3 Tbsp. suger to the PB batter, used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk, reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups in the brownie batter, used milk choc. chips instead of semi-sweet and baked them for 37 minutes exactly. After spooning on the reserved chocolate batter over the peanut butter layer be careful as you swirl it on top as not to cut into the peanut butter layer in order to get a nice layered effect with nice swirls on top. This is one of those, YOU MUST TRY recipes! Everyone wants a copy!

I just used an 8 oz package of cream cheese. In the cake, I had to use half brown sugar and half white sugar because I didn't have enough white sugar. I also added more peanut butter because some reviewers did and I love peanut butter, however, I think that the original amount of peanut butter would have been better. I baked it for 28 minutes, which was perfect. These brownies are absouloutly amazing. I will make them again, except with the original amount of PB and with all white sugar. They're pretty too, kind of hard to swirl. Thanks!

Delicious is an understatement. These things are SO good. I made more of the topping by upping the cream cheese to 8 oz. and the peanut butter to 3/4 c. I cut the butter to 2/3 c., the choc. chips to half a cup, and should have cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. I put all the brownie batter in the pan, then spread on the p.b. layer and the swirled it. It came out quite pretty. And dense and fudgy and luscious.

Now THIS is the good stuff! I did as the several other reviews suggested and used a whole 8 oz pkg of cream cheese. Otherwise, I made them according to the recipe. These were perfect. Rich, chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery, everything I wanted! I sent a large plate to work with my husband and they got rave reviews there too. Big hit. I'll make these over and over again!

I loved these brownies. I wasn't very good at making them look marbled (a.k.a. pretty), but they sure tasted great. I made the reciped as is, but I agree with some other reviewers that it's totally better the next day. When I make this again, I'm going to make it a day ahead.

These brownies were great, i took the advice of others and only added 3/4C of margerine. I also added about 3/4C peanut butter chips in addition to the chocolate chips the recipe called for. However, i needed to cook these brownies for 1H 30min (approx) and the toothpick still came out sticky, but all in all they were fudgy and great. My family (who LOVE choco and peanut butter) really liked them! I will make them again for sure!
