To make a straightforward but tasty soup, combine cream cheese, roasted broccoli, and vegetable broth. Broccoli tastes better when roasted because it develops nutty and sweet flavors.

Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Melt the chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Stir vanilla into chocolate mixture.
- Stir flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold walnuts into batter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- Bake brownies in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist chunks on it, but not wet, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature before cutting into squares.
- You can substitute 3/4 cup Splenda(R) for 1 cup white sugar, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips for the walnuts.

Reviews
These were pretty quick to make. However, they seem to have too much butter (the recipe called for 1 cup). They came out very greasy and they were not gooey at all! They have a very weird texture. They tasted okay, I think the consistency and texture affected the taste.
I am not sure I would consider this quick. Melting chocolate took longer than most recipes. The brownies were good. Omitted the walnuts. Everyone at them.
