yep, take your pick...
Marbled Cream Cheese Brownies
6 bars (1.5 ounces each) Godiva Dark Chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 large eggs, at room temperature, divided
1 Tbs vanilla extract, divided
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9x2-inch baking pan with aluminum foil so that the foil extends 2 inches beyond the long sides of the pan. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of foil-lined pan.
2 Place chocolate in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at medium (50% power) 1 minute. Stir. Microwave 30 seconds more or until chocolate is softened. Stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
3 Beat together cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl until smooth, using electric mixer at medium speed. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
4 Beat butter and remaining sugar in large bowl until combined, using electric mixer at medium speed. Beat in remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate and remaining vanilla. Beat in flour and salt just until combined, using low speed.
5 Remove 1 cup batter and set aside. Spread remaining batter in prepared pan. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Spoon reserved chocolate batter over cream cheese mixture. Pull a knife through layers with a slight lifting motion, in a zigzag pattern to create marbleized pattern.
6 Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches away from the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool in pan on a wire rack. When completely cooled, using the two ends of the foil as handles, lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares.

1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
**Brownie layer **
5 tablespoons sweet butter
5 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate
2 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2-1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a square 8X8 inch pan.
3. To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.
4. Add the rest of the cream cheese layer ingredients, beating well and scraping down and of the batter that dares try to escape up the sides of the bowl.
5. To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
6. Put aside and let come to room temperature.
7. In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.
8.
9. Add the chocolate mixture and mix well until combined.
10. Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
11. Add the flour, vanilla, baking powder, salt and the chocolate chips, mix well until combined.
12. Pour half the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
13. Dollop the cream cheese mixture over that. Don't worry if it doesn't cover the chocolate. It won't.
14. Add the remaining chocolate mixture.
15. Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
16. Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
17. Sprinkle with the nuts.
18. Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
19. Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.
20. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes, cut into 12 or 16 brownies, cover and refrigerate.
