I doubled the bottom layer to get a thicker bar and mistakingly left the chocolate chips out of the cream cheese filling. They are great while still warm but are AMAZING after they've cooled and set. Growing up, Mom made these a Christmas time staple. It was wonderful to have the smell of my childhood wafting from my oven.

    I didn't think it was possible to make cream cheese brownies any better, but this recipe does my adding the frosting. These were rich, very chocolatey, but not OVERLY sweet. Yum. I'll make these again.

    WOW is the best way to describe these bars. Everyone loved them - I didn't get one when I made them to take to church! The cream cheese really makes these special and keeps them moist. The steps are many but easy. I refrigerated them after they cooled so the marshmallow/chocolate topping would set & cut better. Will make again and again - thanks for such a good recipe!
