I'm very fond of nice chewy, deep chocolate brownies and my favorite of all is a dark chocolate brownie baked with cream cheese batter. There's just something about that cream cheese and chocolate mixture that has me totally addicted.
Since I love doing cocktails inspired by food and national food holidays, I decided it was time to create and mix up a few of these.
