This is my traditional brownie recipe that I decided to top with a cream cheese topping. It came out great! The 8 X 8 pan is just the right size for the smaller family. The brownies also freeze well. I wrap the individual servings in plastic wrap and then put them in a labeled and dated Ziplock freezer bag. Whenever we want one, we just pop it into the microwave for a minute until it's warm.
