Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, cubed
6 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
Directions
In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add chocolate; stir until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugars and vanilla; whisk in chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; add to egg mixture and stir until smooth. Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with waxed paper and grease the paper; spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla. Gently spread over chocolate layer. Drizzle caramel topping over cream cheese layer in vertical lines about 1 inch apart. Use a toothpick to draw right angles across the drizzled lines, about 1/2 inch apart.
Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 1 hour before removing from pan. Discard waxed paper. Cut with a 3-inch x 1-inch crescent-shaped cookie cutter. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
