My daughters chose to make this recipe for the We're Really Cooking Now challenge ZWT 4. They did almost all the work themselves, and I must say they did a fantastic job. The brownies were chewy, crunchy delicious. Loved the gooey cream cheese layer. I was out of pecans, so they substituted walnuts. Made for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe and the fun time we had cooking together making it!

Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! We are brownie addicts in this house & I have to admit that I make them at least twice a week. I wanted to try these as I've never made brownies with cream cheese & was interested to see how they turned out. These are so tasty & easy to make. The only thing that I will say is that they did not turn out the same texture as our regular brownies - but they are just as scrummy & disappeared just as fast! Thanks Ang for a yummy brownie recipe! :)

I really enjoyed the flavor of these brownies. They came out very moist for me but not too moist. I did cook them an hour and that was just about right! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

These were nice and gooey. Loved the fact that they were not that sweet, considering the amount of sugar it called for. I too had to bake them longer. Aprox. 30 more minutes and it fell in the middle, but my brownies always fall in the middle. LOL! :)
