Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies
Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies with peanut butter cups are just downright sinful! This dessert hits on so many of my favorites. These include brownies, cheesecake and peanut butter cups! This recipe starts with boxed brownies making them extra easy to prepare. I love to use Betty Crocker dark chocolate brownies for this one! Of course, you can always make a homemade version if you prefer. It would only add to this recipe which is already amazing. Try whipping up these Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies for your holiday dessert tray…they will bring a lot of smiled to your loved ones! You could even jazz them up to match a holiday by changing the candies on top. I like to serve these with some melted peanut butter drizzled across the tops, too.

How do I store cheesecake brownies?
You will want to store these in the fridge due to the cheesecake layer. I recommend taking them out 20 minutes before you plan to serve them to come up to room temperature!
