Chunky Cheesecake Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

Combine 8 oz of Cream Cheese with ¼ cup of Sugar and 1 egg in a mixing bowl; beat until smooth. Stir 1 cup Chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off, and set a heatproof mixing bowl over the water. In the mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup of Butter with a cup of chocolate chips; stir until just melted and blended together. Stir in the remaining ½ cup of Sugar and 2 eggs, then sift together 2/3 cup all-purpose flour,  ½ tsp of Baking Powder, and ¼ tsp of Salt; stir into chocolate until evenly blended.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer. Top with remaining chocolate mixture (this doesn't need to completely cover the cream cheese layer). Using a knife, swirl the top chocolate layer into the cream cheese to make a marble pattern.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 F (175 C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until top is crinkled and edges pull away from sides of the pan. Cool thoroughly. Cut into 12 to 16 squares.
