How to Make Broadway Brownie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Cream Cheese Layer:** In a medium bowl, beat ¾ cup (170g) cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour, ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened, 1 large egg, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- **Chocolate Layer:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1 ounce (28g) unsweetened chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat 2 large eggs at medium speed. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, beating well. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the egg mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture and 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
- Dollop the cream cheese batter over the chocolate batter. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the batters together slightly.
- Sprinkle with ¼ cup (30g) chopped walnuts (optional) and 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with mini marshmallows. Bake for 2 more minutes.
- **Ganache (Optional):** While brownies are baking, combine ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, ¼ cup (57g) cream cheese, softened, 1 ounce (28g) unsweetened chocolate, and 2 tablespoons milk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat; stir in 2 cups (200g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle or spread over warm brownies.
- Let cool completely before chilling for at least 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
