Steps:
- PLEASE READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING. THE PROCEDURE IS A BIT OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
- Heat oven to 350º.
- Line 13x9 inch pan with foil. I use a disposable foil casserole pan.
- Grease or spray w/ cooking spray.
- Make sure PAN IS DEEP, as cheesecake portion of this recipe tends to puff up.
- When they are cool, put them in the fridge and they "calm down".
- I also line any pan I use with foil, extending the foil over the edges. This makes it easy to get the whole thing out for slicing.
- Prepare brownie mix according to directions on box and pour into pan.
- Bake 15 minutes or until top is shiny and center is ALMOST set. At this point it is only partially done.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
- Add sour cream; mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each egg to mix well.
- Pour over partially cooked brownie batter in pan. (Filling will come almost to the top.).
- Bake 40 minutes or until center of cheesecake part is almost set.
- Run knife/spatula around edge to loosen cake.
- After cooling, refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate squares over top. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
- Remove from pan using the foil to lift it out.
- Dip a knife in hot water to cut these.
- Cut into 16 pieces, or more, to serve.

Tips:

- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- To make the brownies gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.
- To make the brownies dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and butter.
- For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles to the batter.
