Cheesecake Brownies

So one of my favorite pizza places, Armand's has cheesecake brownies or they USED to have cheesecake brownies. We went a week ago and when I ordered one to go, the waitress said they didnt have any and were only going to make 1 kind of brownie from now on. WHAT?! They took the best thing on the menu away. So I looked up a cheesecake brownie recipe, bought the ingredients, and had ment to make the brownies for a week. I made them today. They really satisfy :) in fact I want to eat the whole pan. Luckily our basement renter and my husband have had one already so now if I eat the rest it wont be the whole pan. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chunky-Cheesecake-Brownies/Detail.aspx Cheesecake Brownies INGREDIENTS * 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened * 1/4 cup white sugar * 1 egg * 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips * 1/4 cup butter * 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips * 1/2 cup white sugar * 2 eggs * 2/3 cup all-purpose flour * 1/2 teaspoon

Birthday Cake

I know everyone is making very Easter like desserts right now, but I made a birthday cake for my niece. Its a yellow cake with chocolate frosting I used Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting recipe, but doubled. I always seem to need more frosting :) yum "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE FROSTING 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine 2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa 3 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting. The yellow frosting is actually lemon frosting from *shocking* a CAN from the store and I piped it with my really bad icing skills. I added sugar decorations that said Happy Birthday bought from the store after this was taken I'm really excited to eat this tomorrow. It all smelled so good. It's like torture having it sit on the counter
