Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the water, butter and chocolate; cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Cool.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add eggs and sour cream; beat on low just until combined. Stir in chocolate mixture until smooth.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla; set aside. Spread chocolate batter into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Drop cream cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through the batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: about 6 dozen.
