If you want something decadently rich and smooth, make these. I made some this morning (vacation day!) and tried one, which is about all you could eat at one sitting.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Chocolate Layer
1/4 cup unsalted butter -- cubed (1/2 stick)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- coarsely chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour -- LESS 1 Tablespoon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water
Cream Cheese Layer
3 ounces cream cheese -- softened and cubed (I used LF)
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter -- melted
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2-12 cup mini muffin pans with cooking spray.

In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate on High, stirring at 10 second intervals, until melted and smooth. Stirring, add sugar to chocolate mixture until well blended; cool slightly. In a small bowl, stir flour, salt and baking soda; set aside. Stir egg, 1 TB of water and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Stir in flour mixture.

In food processor, beat cream cheese, sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth. Stire in chocolate chips.

Spoon 1/2 tablespoon chocolate mixture into each prepared muffin cup; top with 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture. Spoon remaining chocolate mixture evenly on top of each cut. Place pans on a baking sheet.

Bake 13 - 15 minutes, until wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. Place muffin pans on a wire rack to cool.

Gently loosen brownie cups with point of a knife; remove from the pan. Store in airtight container for up to 4 days; or freeze up to 1 month.

These look wonderful. Thanks for posting. Do you think using the paper liners would work?

Ooh- I saw these but have yet to get around to them. I'm sure I could find a way to eat more than one, though. They may not make it Buffalo...

I would use paper liners AND spray them.

After mine had cooled they GOT STUCK!! Waaaaahhhhhhh! Now I have brownie chunks. :( :( I used butter to grease the pans, not spray.

I learned my lesson I guess. Now they can be chunks and have ice cream over the top.....

Could I use a brownie pan and then just cut smallish squares?

Or regular-size muffin cups?

I have a very similar recipe that I always bake in regular muffin tins. I don't see why this one wouldn't work as well.

Mmmmmm. These sound so good :) I am adding them to my list of desserts to make while staying with my parents over the holidays (and while there are people around to help me eat them!).
