1/2 c, butter, slightly softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/3 c. wheat germ
2 c. chocolate chips

Cream together butter and cream cheese, then add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour and wheat germ and beat until smooth. Turn into greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes, until edges are light brown and top is firm. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand about 5 minutes, until chocolate softens, then spread evenly over the top. 

Topping:
2 eggs
1/2 c, honey
1/3 c, whole wheat flour
1/3 c. nonfat dry milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. mace
1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Combine eggs and honey until well blended. Add remaining flour, dry milk, salt, spices, and walnuts. Crumble over the chocolate and return to the oven. Bake another 18-20 minutes or until top is set. Let cool in pan before serving.

Tip: You can line the pan with aluminum foil and spray for easier cutting and clean up.
