The Best Cheesecake Brownies

If you’ve ever had Black Bottom Cupcakes, then you have an idea of how mouth watering deliciously addicting these Cheesecake Brownies are! They taste just like them, but in brownie form. These are so amazing there are not enough descriptive words to describe how fantastic they are!

I cut these into bite size pieces to make these stretch farther to give as gifts over the holidays. Having these in snack form is just about the worst idea I’ve ever had! It’s impossible to stop popping them in your mouth!

These decadent brownies will always be on my top favorite recipes list, right along with Snicker Surprise Peanut Butter Cookies, Pralines and Cream Fudge, Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars, Best Homemade Toffee, Toffee Butter Pecan Cake Mix Cookies, and Crock Pot Christmas Crack!
