      8 oz Chocolate, bittersweet or

    1/2 c  Butter, unsalted

  For topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease 9 inch

  with sugar in medium bowl until smooth.  Blend in egg, vanilla and
  salt. Set topping aside while preparing brownie batter.
  
  For Brownies: Melt chocolate and butter in heavy saucepan over very
  low heat, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly. Using electric mixer,
  beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until thick, about
  3 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate, then flour and semisweet
  chocolate chips.
  
  Pour batter into prepared pan; smooth top.  Spoon cream cheese
  topping into pastry bag fitted with 1/2 inch round tip. Pipe cheese
  mixture in diagonal lines atop brownie batter, spacing line 1/2 to
  3/4 inches apart. Run tip of small knife through cream cheese on
  opposite diagonal, spacing 1/2 inch apart and creating V pattern.

  Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Can be prepared up to 2 days
  ahead. Run sharp knife around pan to loosen. Cut dessert into 12
  brownies. Serve cold.
