CREAM CHEESE BROWNIE FUDGE

INTRODUCTION
HEALTH & DIET
ADDITIONAL INFO
I love brownies. I love fudge. I wanted a dessert that was a combination of the two, and after a couple (tasty) trials, I have done it. Eating all the results of "trial" dessert recipes? It is a tough job, but someone has to do it... These are decadently dense and fudgy, like nothing you have ever enjoyed before.
