Decadent! These brownies are very rich, chocolaty, chewy and moist - exactly the way a brownie should be! I've never had brownies like these. They are so very unique. The combination of the chocolate and cream cheese layers is so delicious. The melty marshmallows and the fudgy frosting send it over the top. It is hard to eat more than one because they are so rich. My kids, brownie fanatics, loved them. I did omit the nuts because they don't like them. Serve these to guests and they will be asking you for the recipe. Thanks, Juenessa!
