Halloween Cheesecake Brownies

In light of the Halloween spirit I made some cheesecake brownies last night and thought I would share!

 

To make your own Halloween Cheesecake Brownies:

Below I will post my favorite brownie recipe but you can prepare your favorite brownie recipe or boxed brownie for these. Follow the instructions of brownie recipe up until the point of placing the pan in the oven. BEFORE BAKING, prepare cheesecake topping (below). Drop cheesecake topping by spoonfuls onto your brownie batter in pan. Swirl with a knife. Bake as directed by brownie recipe.

 

Cheesecake Topping:

• 8oz Pack of Cream Cheese (I used reduced fat)

1. Blend all ingredients until well mixed.

 

My Favorite Brownie Recipe:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan.

2. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Add eggs; beat well with spoon. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
