Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Place 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add 1 1/4 cups sugar; mix to combine. Add 3 eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour and cocoa mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix).
- Prepare cream-cheese mixture: Whisk cream cheese with 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Alternately spoon chocolate batter and cream-cheese mixture into pan; with the tip of a paring knife, swirl to marble.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Lightly grease a square 8X8-inch pan.
- To make the cream cheese layer, put the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until it's smooth.
- Add the rest of the cream cheese layer ingredients, beating well and scraping down and of the batter that dares try to escape up the sides of the bowl.
- To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and the chocolate together until smoothly melted.
- Put aside and let come to room temperature.
- Be patient, it's worth it.
- In a separate bowl from the cream cheese mixture, mix the eggs and the sugar until it's thick and a gorgeous lemon color.
- Add the chocolate mixture and mix well until combined.
- Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the flour, vanilla, baking powder, salt and the chocolate chips, mix well until combined.
- Pour half the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
- Dollop the cream cheese mixture over that.
- Don't worry if it doesn't cover the chocolate. It won't.
- Add the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Take a knife and gently draw it through the batters, from left to right and from top to bottom, making a checkerboard pattern.
- Don't allow the mixtures to combine, be careful.
- Sprinkle with the nuts.
- Bake in the oven until the sides, but not the tops, begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Don't wait until a tester comes out clean, if you do then you have overbaked and basically murdered the brownies.
- Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes, cut into 12 or 16 brownies, cover and refrigerate.
