Box Brownie mix – Our your favorite homemade brownie batter will work too
Eggs, oil, and Water as called for on the brownie mix
Cream cheese – a block of cream cheese, not the whipped kind
Creamy Peanut Butter – to give the cheesecake layer a delicious peanut butter flavor
Granulated Sugar – to sweeten
Egg – To hold everything together for the cheesecake layer

How to make Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies?

Pre heat oven and prepare a brownie mix according to the package directions in a large bowl, mixed with the eggs, oil, and water. Set the batter aside.
Add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and beat it with an electric mixer (a stand mixer or hand mixer works) smooth for a couple of minutes. Add in the peanut butter and beat them together until they are smooth.
Add in the sugar, egg, flour and vanilla extract and stir until just combined.
Pour all but 1/2 cup of your brownie batter into a 9×13 pan.
Spoon the creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling over the top of the brownie batter. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the top of the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to carefully swirl the cream cheese and brown batter together to create a marbled effect.
Bake the brownies in the oven until a toothpick can be inserted in the middle of the brownies and comes out clean.

Tips and Tricks:

Line your baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to lift the brownies out of the pan easier, and help to make slicing easier.
Press peanut butter cups or mini peanut butter to the top of the brownies after you swirl the cheesecake batter.
Add chocolate chips or peanut butter chips on top of the brownies.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the brownies by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a ziplock bag or freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
