I read every comment and took everything into account when making this recipe. At the end of about 43 minutes I was left with a moist on the inside brownie with really no special characteristics.

I had hoped for a nice "cheesecakey" topping to offset a rich chocolate brownie, but this is not that brownie. It's 'okay' and because it is just okay it has been deleted from my cookbook.

I have made the other Black and White Brownie recipe on this site, "Jessica's Black and White Brownies" and they are full of flavor. If you are trying to decide which one to make I would personally make those and forget about these : Sorry.

I have been making these brownies for years...and everyone loves them. I'm a personal chef, so, I've made them for clients, friends, realatives and they always sell out at the church bake sale! Although, the recipe calls for 9 ounces of cream cheese, I always use the standard 8 ounce package and it works out fine. I agree with one of the other reviews that it does take longer than 40 mins. More like 50 mins to an hour. Its a minor adjustment to me...they are sooo good!

I was surprised that there was no baking pan size listed, also with a 9x12 pan 40 min. is not long enough. More like 55 min. I also find it helpful to have listed a test for doneness, springs back, clean toothpick something like that. I am an experienced baker and I found these things deterred from the recipe.

Like previous reviews, brownies did turn out tasting pretty good in the end (more so the next day. I had to add about 25 min on to the baking time as the center was not "clean" at all when i inserted toothpick/knife for testing readiness.

I would take the suggestion of a a previous comment and def. cover with foil next time around so the "white" part of the brownie can stay white! Mine turned light brown since I had to add so much additional baking time.

Just alter the baking time and should be fine...

I wanted to make brownies and I didn't want to go to the store to get anything. This is a great recipe and everything you need for this recipe I normally have in the house. This did take a while to make since you had to do several steps. Also it did not say to get the cream cheese and the butter to room temp. but I figured it would be best to do that and I am glad that I did. I do not think that I have ever made a brownie this good. I liked using the parchment paper in the pan it was nice that it came out so easily, I would reccomend a 9 x 13 pan.

I made these with my 11 year old niece and she had a ball. She had never seen any recipie with so many steps but she saw how great they turned out and I think she will be more confident in her baking now. I had no trouble with the cook time while using a 11x17 pan. Enjoy!

These brownies are delicious. I followed the recipe and I found it easy and great. I used an 11 x 17 pan and cooked for 45 minutes. I let it cook longer because so many people said that it was undercooked, well do not listen to them, mine were overcooked. When cooked correctly the cream cheese section will be softer than the brownie section, if you cook it longer than the brownie section gets dried out. I would absoluetly make this recipe again.

The brownies turned out to be the best I feel like I've ever made!! Just as previously mentioned, no pan size is indicated, but a 9x11 is fine. I had to increase the cooking time by almost 20 minutes and covered the top with foil so the brownies didn't burn. I also substituted 4 oz. of white chocolate in the 12 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate to cut down the sweetness. I will definitely be making these again!

O.k I am an amateur and for most of my kids life I have been baking out of a box and for the past few months I have been trying "out of scratch", and this was by far the best brownies I've made and the kids were in awe. The one set back was the pan measurement, there was no indication, but trial and error, I figured it out.
