Chocolate Marbled Cheesecake Bars

3/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 to 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 to 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream

Cream Cheese Mixture:
1 package cream cheese, 8 ounces, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

In a small saucepan, combine the water, butter and chocolate and cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Cool.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add eggs and sour cream and beat on low just until combined. Stir in chocolate mixture until smooth.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla and set aside. Spread chocolate batter into a greased 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan. Drop cream cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter and cut through the batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
Yields about 6 dozen.
