 Butter a 9" square pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and


 salt. Set aside. Melt the chocolate with the butter. Remove from heat


 and let cool slightly. Beat the 2 eggs until foamy. Add the 3/4 cup


 sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Continue beating until light


 lemon-colored. Beat in the chocolate mixture and then the dry


 ingredients. Mix well. Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture. To the


 remainder, stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts. Spread this mixture into the


 prepared pan.


 


 Preheat oven to 350'F. Beat the cream cheese with the butter until


 smooth. Add the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar and beat until


 fluffy. Beat in the 1 egg. Spread cheese mixture over the chocolate


 layer. Place heaping tablespoons of the reserved 3/4 cup chocolate


 mixture over the cheese, forming 8 or 9 mounds. With a small spatula


 of knife, cut through the mounds in a zigzag layer, going almost but


 not quite through the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup


 nuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for a few


 hours before cutting.


 


 Makes 24 brownies.
