For filling:

Combine syrup and 2 ounces chopped chocolate in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts; cool. Beat cream cheese and egg in medium bowl. Stir in chocolate mixture. Blend in ¼ cup chocolate chips and flour. Set aside.

For batter:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan with 2-inch-high sides. Line bottom with waxed paper. Butter waxed paper. Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder into medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture.

Spoon half of chocolate batter into prepared pan. Top with filling. Spread remaining batter over. Bake brownies until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer to rack. Cool 5 minutes. Run small sharp knife around edges of pan to loosen. Cool completely in pan.
