Beautiful brownies from the kitchens of chrismukkah

******************************


This I got from some site off from Foodgawker, but darned if I can remember the site :P

Anyways, to make:

Makes 16

For the swirl:

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 large egg
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup malted milk powder

For the brownies:

7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour (you may have to add in a bit more flour, I thought it was still a bit 'loose' - so I added 1 tablespoon extra, which did the trick.)
1 teaspoon baking powder* (The original recipe didn't call for this, but I have to say that the soda & powder made my brownies rise SO much better :3)
½ teaspoon baking soda*
2 ripe bananas (I had two leftover just lying around, I figured, why not)

Add-ins:

4 ounces store-bought caramels, unwrapped and quartered (didnt use, instead, used a big handful of chocolate “Rolos”)

3 ounces peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets, lightly crushed

Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8- inch baking pan with foil or parchment and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1 egg, sugar, vanilla and malt powder until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder and set aside to cool.

In another medium bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Spread half the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the caramel bits and half the crushed pretzels evenly over the top. Mush in the two ripe bananas, and mix well with the batter.

Pour in the cream cheese mixture and smooth the surface with a spatula. Dollop the remaining half of the brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture in 5-6 generous blobs. Using a butter knife, lightly swirl the brownie batter and cream cheese mixture together. Sprinkle the remaining caramel bits and pretzels over the top.

Bake until slightly puffed and a toothpick comes out clean when tested 1 inch from the edges (it will look a bit underdone in the middle), about 40-45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, before cutting and serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

Yes, its highly fattening... :P

Enjoy !!!
