What's the secret!
Premium German cocoa with 22 to 24% cocoa butter, not the usual 8 to 10% you find in grocery store brands. That extra cocoa butter is what gives them their deep, silky richness.
"These are the most perfect brownies! I love them, and they have been the best neighbor gifts you could ever give." --"The very best! Fudgy and chocolatey. Delicious!!!" --Nan"Best brownies by far! . . . Baked, cooled, cut and WOW! The most decadent moist brownie by far!" --
Questions About This Cocoa
- What makes the cocoa better? It's the cocoa butter plus generations of artisan processing in Europe. We've tested cocoa for 20 years and never found a good one with less than 16% cocoa butter. This one has 22 to 24%.
- Does it taste different? It tastes different the moment you open the bag--even the smell is richer and deeper. The flavor is bold yet smooth, never bitter
- I understand that cocoa butter is a big deal, but what do the stores have? Most grocery store brands have 8 to 10% cocoa butter — less than half of what a really good cocoa contains.
- Why don't they use the good stuff? It's too expensive. Grocery stores compete on cost.
- How can you compete? We don't have the huge overhead that grocery stores do. They need expensive locations where people live. We're out in the country where things cost less, so we can bring you better cocoa without charging more.

1 Uncle Bob's Brownie mix
2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie batter according to mix instructions. Set aside.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat in. Add the egg yolks and beat until smooth. Set aside.
- Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese filling onto the batter in pools. Pour the rest of the chocolate batter over the cream cheese pools. Spread the batter smoothly. Spoon the remaining cream cheese filling in pools over the top of the brownie batter.
- Hold a table knife or spatula vertically and cut through the batters just until the two batters are swirled together. Do not over-mix.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the brownies test done by sticking a toothpick or knife into the center of the pan. The brownies will be done when moist crumbs cling to the toothpick or knife. Let the brownies cool completely before removing them from the pan.
