I give this 4 stars, since I made a mistake and forgot to add the baking powder...however the result was fantastic! A very moist and chewy brownie!

I used the full 16 oz of cream cheese, but subbed milk for the vodka. The cream cheese layer was just okay, but the brownie layer really was lacking in flavor. Brushing the top with the kahlua helped a these a lot, but 4 of 5 in my household gave these brownies a thumbs down.

Tips: Bake at 350 for 40 minutes and the brownies will be perfectly done. Ease up on the vodca in the cream cheese. Once you have the layers in place use a knife to swirl all three together, then detail the top with a toothpick.

Mmmm...Great moist brownies. I halfed the cream cheese like recommended by others but next time may make the full amount as I thought that was the best part of the recipe. The only problem was the cooking time. Like others have said before, after the recommended cooking time, the outside was cooked while the middle was gooey. I made a "ring" of foil (like when cooking pie crusts in the oven to prevent the edges from burning) and covered the cooked outside portion (exposing the uncooked portions) and put back in the oven, checking continuously until cooked. Although it was a pain, the results were fantastic. The taste of the chocolate and cream cheese was similar to black-bottomed cupcakes my mom always used to make.

Very good-I sprinkled swirled chocolate chips on top...a little too much cream cheese...Definitely cook for longer than it says, though!! I had to throw it back in after taking it out. Could be a little more chocolate-y, too. Overall a big crown pleaser!!!

For some reason I tend to produce disastrous brownies time after time. These were quite good though - the bits I cut from the edges I mean, as I baked for 35 minutes and it wasn't enough at all. I decreased the cream cheese layer by half and just added all the coffee liqueur to the batter - very nice flavour!

i liked the idea of these, but i didn't like the result. WAY too much cheese mixture in the middle and it didn't get solid for me -- even after putting them in the oven a second time! cut the cream cheese down to 1 brick, DON'T soak the top with liquor, DO swirl or slightly mix the top two layers. good luck...

Made these today for my wife and I. Only had 8oz of cream cheese, so I halved that layer and did not brush with coffee liquor after cooking. Turned out great! Used an 8X8 pan, so they were nice and thick. Cooked for 35 minutes and were done perfectly. May use slightly less vodka next time. Overall very good!!!

Don't use a larger pan...makes them strange looking. Tastes good though~

I made these for my study group and got mixed reviews. They either really liked them or they did not like them at all. They did not fully cook in the middle, prehaps adding foil would have allowed them to finish cooking without burning. I did not brush with Kahlua in the end. I thought that they were a bit to alcohol tasting, next time I would use less vodka.

I hated it and my husband liked it so I refrained from rating it. After using half the bowls in my kitchen, I found the recipe to have too little chocolate mixture and too much cream cheese mixture. It overcooked the outsides while the the inside remained gooey. And the taste wasn't worth raving about in the least. I was terribly dissapointed. My husband said it was like eating cheesecake inside a cookie sandwich, so he liked it.

This is a great grownup treat. Very rich and very tasty.

sinfull and easy... definatly a keeper I will be making these again

High expectations weren't fulfilled. I may have done something wrong?

The world's most "sinful" brownies--but worth every calorie! Kinda like brownie cheesecake. A big hit on my Christmas List!

I loved these brownies. I made thme last year for a Christmas party and they were a big hit. Thanks!

These brownies are kick-you-in-the-rear delicious! After brushing the kahlua on top, let them sit overnight. The alcohol will evaporate an all the flavors soak in. They are SO GOOD! I took the recipe to an annual bake-day with some friends. None of the brownies even made it out the door! Kudos to the chef!
