Cheesecake Brownies 

Cheesecake Brownies

 

Don’t these look good? My family can’t get enough of these Cheesecake Brownies with their layer of dense chocolate caramel brownie and creamy cheesecake top. They go kinda nuts over them. Each bite is a little bit of heaven. I like that these are an easy brownie recipe to make anytime and I can make these brownies from scratch.

Every holiday season, my kids and I get in the kitchen to bake cookies, breads, and cakes. It’s one of the holiday traditions I look forward to. Baking cookies with my children is always a great time.  It may not be the cleanest of activities, but who cares. It’s a fun way to spend time together and the results are always delicious. I remember baking cookies with my grandmother when I was younger. I have fond memories of getting in the kitchen with her. One of the cookies was the  Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on the bag. Do you have a favorite cookie or easy brownie recipe you like to make?

How to Make Brownies from Scratch

Homemade brownies are always better than anything you’ll get from a box. Luckily  the answer to the question of  “How to Make Brownies From Scratch?”, is REALLY REALLY simple! With brownies, you melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, then add the remaining ingredients. With then cheesecake brownies, you layer the brownie mixture in a 8×8 pan and then follow with the cream cheese layer. Bake for 30 minutes or so and then let cook.

Chocolate Filled Baking Morsels

Have y’all tried these  Nestle Toll House DelightFulls Filled Baking Morsels yet? They’re  chocolate chips with stuff in the middle; caramel, peanut butter, mint, or cherry. The thing that makes these the best brownie recipe is the addition of Nestle Toll House DelightFulls baking morsels. The ones I really like in this are Caramel filled milk chocolate chips.

Easy Brownie Recipe

These Cheesecake Brownies are delicious and oh so easy. They really are one of the best brownie recipes the kids and I have ever made.  I mean how can you go wrong with chocolately brownies topped with a layer of creamy cheese goodness.  The marbleized effect on top is decorative with a few melted chocolate chips swirled in. It gives these brownie cheesecake bars a nice look.

Every year, we try to host a cookie exchange for friends, family and neighbors. These are usually one of the desserts I make to swap because they are so easy. I’ll cut them into smaller squares or 2″ bars. If you want to give these or other cookies as gifts, here are a few ideas on packaging homemade treats.

Have fun in the kitchen this holiday season and create some delicious treats for yourself!

      The chips are delicious. It’s hard to save enough for the cookies, so get two bags just in case. If you can’t find the chips, you can add equal amounts of chocolate and caramel chips.

      Be sure to click the Nestle Toll House link for more recipes using these yummy filled chips.
