Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box—usually oil, eggs, and water)
- 6 Milky Way bars, chopped
- 1 cup caramel sauce (divided)
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices.
Step 2: Brownie Batter Base
Prepare your brownie batter according to package directions. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Layer It Up
Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer, then sprinkle with chopped Milky Way bars.
Gently pour the remaining brownie batter on top, smoothing it with a spatula.
Finish with a final drizzle of caramel across the top for that luscious look.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don’t overbake—these babies are best slightly gooey!
Step 6: Cool & Slice
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. For clean cuts, chill them in the fridge first!
Tips for Success
- Chill before slicing for perfect brownie bars
- Use room temp cream cheese for a smooth filling
- Swap Milky Way for Snickers, Twix, or your favorite candy bar for fun variations!
How to Store
Keep brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm a square in the microwave for a few seconds for melty, gooey bliss.
