Brownies

1 19-ounce package chewy fudge brownie mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Combine brownie mix with eggs, oil and Amaretto and mix until well blended. Spread in the prepared baking dish.

Cream Cheese and Icing

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Amaretto or other almond-flavored liqueur
6 1.45-ounce milk chocolate bars with almonds, unwrapped

Place cream cheese, softened butter, sugar, eggs, flour and Amaretto in a large bowl and beat by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour over brownie layer and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove brownies from oven and top with chocolate bars. When chocolate bars have melted, spread evenly over brownies. Set aside to cool, and store in the refrigerator.
