Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using, so it mixes smoothly.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use a larger or smaller one. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet.
- If you want a minty flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the batter.
