Hershey’s Cheesecake Brownies

It seems like it is a tradtion on Sunday’s to have brownies at my parents. I’ve been wanting to try this new recipe that I found. Why? Well because it has cheesecake and a Hershey chocolate bar melted on top! You can not go wrong EVER with that combo! My family LOVED them and they turned out so yummy! It was a huge hit and I knew I had to share with everyone on here. These are going to be the rave once you make them!

Two things I do love most is candy and cheesecake. With this blend of chocolate candy and cheesecake it has three delicious layers that are irresistible and has my heart. Some even love the peanut butter taste too and these Reese’s Cheesecake Brownies will hit that spot just like these Hershey chocolate cheesecake brownies did for me. You can’t go wrong with a thick, rich dessert that everyone is going to love once it hits their mouths! The combination of the three layers are heavenly good and drool worthy.

How to Make Hershey’s Cheesecake Brownies:

  1. Prepare pan for baking: Preheat oven to 350. Prepare 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper long enough to hang over on two sides, making it easier to remove from pan once baked. Spray pan and paper.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter: In small saucepan over medium heat, or in the microwave, melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Make brownies: In a separate bowl, beat eggs, vanilla with the sugar. Slowly add in chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Mix batter together: In small bowl, sift together cocoa, salt and flour. Add mixture to rest of batter. Do not over mix.
  5. Layer brownies: Pour batter into prepared baking pan.

The process of making chocolate cheesecake brownies first melting the chocolate and making the bottom layer then add the cheesecake filling in the middle.

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  1. Mix cream cheese frosting: Beat ingredients together until smooth. Pour over brownie batter and evenly spread on top.
  2. Bake: Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until just set and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and immediately top with full size Hershey bars.  Let melt and spread evenly.  Cool completely.

The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:

Let the cheesecake brownies cool completely before cutting into them. Once cooled take a sharp knife and cut, whipping the blade after each line. 

Storing Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies:

These usually don’t last long enough to have over and over again.
