Pin these Cheesecake Swirled Brownies for Later!
Happy Friday friends! In a celebration of it being the weekend, and my cook book coming out, I’m giving you two things that I think you’ll love. First, a recipe sneak peak from my cook book 50 Fixes for Brownie Mixes! Today I’m going to share one of my favorite recipes from the book with you (but lets be honest, I love all of them otherwise they wouldn’t be in the book, now would they). Today I am sharing my cheesecake swirl brownies recipe!
I’ve made these brownies about a dozen times now, for different events with family and friends, as well as passed the recipe on to a few of them to make for themselves, and everyone LOVES them, so I’m sure you will too.
With a homemade sweet and creamy cheesecake filling, swirled in throughout your favorite brownies – these brownies really are irresistible. The tangy cheesecake contrasts perfectly with the sweet chocolaty brownies. And you’ll get the rich flavor of both in every single bite.
The second surprise that I think you’ll love today, is in honor of my blog book tour, if you head to the bottom of this post you’ll find a giveaway! Three lucky readers have the chance to win a copy of my cookbook 50 Fixes for Brownie Mixes, and one of those people will be the grand prize winner and will get $100 to paypal or amazon, and some other great baking goodies! Head to the bottom of this post after the recipe to enter the giveaway!

Can you add chocolate chunks in the cream cheese layer?

I’d recommend cutting the chocolate pretty small, like chocolate chip size but it should work find.
