Pretty good taste wise, but presentation is way off, at least in my bars. The brownie part separated from the cream cheese layer when we tried to pick them up. Not something I would make for company because they are really ugly, too. They did cure my chocolate craving I was having though.

These were really yummy. I added an extra ounce of chocolate to the brownie part and substituted almonds for the walnuts. These freeze well.

Oh my gosh, these are absolutely sinful! I made these for a potluck, so I did not add the walnuts, as some people don't care for nuts. I did make a few changes. The frosting seemed a little light in color and chocolate flavor, so I added an extra square of melted chocolate - perfect! I also added a little extra milk so I could just pour the frosting over the marshmallows (I didn't swirl it, as past reviewers have recommended not swirling). I recommend eating these in small pieces since they are so rich and sweet!

Excellently decadant! I used 2 oz of chocolate in the base and about 3 cups of marshmallows. I didn't swirl the tops either. A wonderful dessert.

My family has been making these bars for years, they are my personal favorite! Like someone else stated, I don't use nuts in mine but that is my personal preference. This is a little putsey but well worth the work!!! VERY YUMMY!!!

All the flavors are great with this recipe but the top layer was very soft and sticky. I would recommend(I wish I read reviews first) not to cook after adding the marshmallows and just pour the chocolate on top. No swirling is necessary. It looked perfect when I had drizzled the chocolate over the top but once I did the swirl it looked like a big mess and I think that attributed to consistency of the top. The only change was I did up the unsweetened chocolate in the brownie layer to 2 ounces and kept the rest all the same. Will try again because they were tasty!

Terrific little sweet treat. This would fit in great on a holiday cookie tray. A little time consuming and dirtied a few dishes but this is a really nice cake/cookie dessert. My frosting layer was really thick, not pourable by any means, I just spread it over gently and then swirled. I would like this much better without nuts and it doesn't need the layer of choc chips in the center, and it doesn't need the swirl thing done, it looked prettier before but it was great just as it is. These are rich and very thick. My teen loved these and devoured them, he was very disappointed when they were gone. We ALL thought they were better cold than at room temp though, so keep that in mind when serving these to guests. Thanks, it was fun making something new.

I take a "shortcut" to make these fabulous bars: I use a box of packaged brownie mix in place of the ingredients for the bottom layer. I bake the brownies with the cream cheese layer on top in a 9x13" pan for 35 minutes, then top with marshmallows and the frosting as directed. This is a quick way to enjoy the perfection of these decadent bars.

This recipe came from the Pillsbury Bake-Off contest. I have been making it for years. I never use nuts and always use extra chocolate chips and marshmallows. I also have found that you don't really need to bake it again after adding the marshmallows. Just pour the frosting over it and spread slightly. These are a hit wherever I go, everyone loves them.

This recipe is awesome! They were really chocolatey, gooey, sweet, and everyone loved them! The layers don't take that much time to make, and I put 1 1/2 oz of chocolate in the two layers it called for so that it would be more chocolatey and not as sweet.

This rating is for the icing only as it is the only part of the recipe that I did not change. It had poor texture and little flavor. An icing made with part semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate and whipping cream would have been a better pairing. To the other reviews that said it was too sweet or rich, not enough chocolate or cream cheese these are the changes I made with very good results. LAYER 1 - used 1 1/2 oz unsweetened choc, 3/4 c sugar, 1 1/2 nuts. LAYER - 2 omitted butter, kept the sugar the same, doubled the rest. LAYER 3 - used bittersweet chips.

I was look forward to trying these, they sound so wonderful! But they just didn't work for me =( The topping tasted just like the ice cream, but was too soft. The bottom batter was far to spreadable, and the cream cheese filling needs to have more flavor and was hard to spread over the bottom layer (which I was suprised when it said not to cook first)

I didn't think that these were so fabulous. The frosting and marshmellows on top didn't mix well. It was also too sweet.

SWEET HOLY JOSEPHINE! These were awesome! Even though they took a while to make they weren't difficult at all, and the results were incredible. They were so rich and creamy and chocolately and just perfect. I took them to a picnic and out of an entire table of desserts, these were the only ones that were gone.
