Cream Cheese Topped Brownies image

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...
