Ingredients
2 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
2-1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup softened butter or margarine
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped lightly salted mixed nuts or peanuts
Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup butter or margarine, and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.

3. Meanwhile, for the fudgy frosting, in a small mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup softened butter or margarine, boiling water, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed until combined. Beat on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy.
