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!

    I will have to try these brownies out for Halloween, Thanksgiving and shucks maybe B4 then. My 27 yr old son and only child loves Reeses peanut butter cups with Reese’s pieces…he eats them daily and sometimes for his meals instead of the actual food. I bet you they won’t come out looking this good though. Will post a picture of these when I fix them
    Thanks!????

    It looks like there are Reese’s pressed into the brownies under the cheesecake, but there is no mention of that in the recipe.

        No there is no mention of putting reese cups in the brownies. Do they migrate to the brownie base from the cheesecake part??

          They don’t go in the brownies they go in the cheesecake batter. Then sink to the bottom during baking.

    For the reeses cups, is it two single Reese’s cups that are needed or two full measured cups of reeses cups?

      Hmmmmm… Even after 40 mins? Did you check your oven temp with a thermometer maybe to make sure it is running the right temp?
