Fudge Swirl Bars

In a medium heavy saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate. Using a wire whisk, beat in 2 cups of the sugar and 3 of the eggs until well blended. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour, salt, chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Spread batter in prepared pan.

In another bowl with mixer on low speed, beat cream cheese with remaining 1/2 cup sugar, remaining egg, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well blended. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat for 2 minutes, scraping bowl from time to times. Spoon mixture in dollops over the chocolate batter. With the end of a butter knife, swirl the cream cheese batter over the surface, blending it into the chocolate layer a bit. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack then cut into bars. Makes about 3 dozen. Store these bars, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
