This is a show stopper dessert! Love cherries? I know I do! Love cheesecake and brownies? I know, I know, like who doesn’t? These 3 treats combine beautifully together to make this brownie cheesecake. It’s also really easy to put together since we are using a box mix of brownies! Betty likes to help us out now and again. You can of course, use a homemade brownie too if you prefer. I served my slices up with some Hershey’s hot fudge and extra cherries because, well-why not!
