Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer:
- 1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Milky Way candy bars
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make brownie batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions and pour about 3/4 of it into the prepared pan.
- Prepare cheesecake mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, vanilla extract, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and well combined. Gently fold in the chopped Milky Way bars.
- Layer and bake: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over in dollops and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Cool completely before drizzling with additional caramel and slicing.
Notes
- Refrigerate before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- You can substitute Milky Way bars with your favorite caramel-filled candy.
