Cheesecake brownies

The second brownie recipe is an easy one, too. I think when you marry brownies and cream cheese it is a match made in heaven, don't you? What could be better.

I came up with this recipe because I was trying to find a way to dress up an ordinary pan of brownies. I wanted it to be easy and tasty.

This is what I came up with. My family loved it and I hope yours will, too.

For this batch, I used a Ghirardelli mix. It was a "Buy one, get one" deal -- but not as cheap as Betty Crocker and I didn't have any coupons. The reason I bought this brand is -- no trans fats. I will admit this brand is really the best. The pan of brownies is not quite as big as the Betty Crocker Supremes, but you can't argue with the take. Yum! I am sure this recipe would work with the brownie mix of your choice.
