4 Eggs
1 t Vanilla
2 c All-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the baking chocolate and butter in a

after each min, until chocolate and butter are completely melted.
Beat in 2 c sugar, 3 eggs, and the vanilla until blended. Stir in the
flour, then spread the batter into a greased 9" x 13" baking pan. On
a med-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 c sugar,
and the remaining egg. Remove the wrappers from 12 chocolate pieces;
coarsely chop, then stir into the cream cheese mixture. Drop by
dollops over the top of the chocolate batter. With a knife, swirl the
chocolate batter to the top to create a marbled effect. Bake for

pieces and press them onto the tops of the bars. Cover and
refrigerate any leftover bars.

on the wattage of your microwave. Check and stir mixture frequently,
just until melted.
