This is a moist, fudgy brownie. I did not get a swirl, more like a layered brownie, with the cream cheese filling in middle. Maybe I did not divide brownie batter enough? I baked in 13"x9" pan since recipe did not specify pan size, only stated "rectangular" pan. Baked for 50 min. Tasted better the next day. Love the almond flavor. If you do not like almond flavor, don't add it. It did take a long time to completely cool. After 4 1/2 hours, when I cut into bars, it was still warm inside.
