Chocolate & Cheese Marble Brownie

It had been raining for days in London, it's really demotivating.
I've officially started my PhD & I have problems getting myself to focus.
Hmmm, I think I need comforting food.
It's time to have some chocolate desserts,my favourite one is fondant au chocolate.
Brownie is great but I made these lovely brownies a while ago.
As you can see from the recipe, with the cream cheese, butter & chocolate, it's quite heavy.
To avoid eating it all by myself, I shared with my colleagues on my 1st day back to the college :P  

Also, I had a giveaway last week for a handmade perfume bottle charm.

The WINNER is Hanna from bouffe e bambini.

I hope she would like it :)

Although there weren't many entries, I was quite happy doing the giveaway.

I think I will have more giveaways in the future.
