I am a cheesecake girl.
Loud and proud.
Like, if I were on death row and had to pick a last meal it would start and end with cheesecake.
Not that I have thought about that possibility or anything. Whatever.
And since I am scared of making an actual cheesecake I stick with cheesecake bars.
Who doesn’t like cheesecake you can eat with your hands. I mean…
So I made eat-with-your-hands cheesecake. Actually it’s caramel cheesecake. And actually-actually it’s all on top of a brownie bottom.
Because brownie bottoms are where it’s at.
So yeah, Brownie Bottom Caramel Cheesecake Bars. Do it.
All you need to to do it whip up a brownie crust, starting with a box of brownie mix and a few other ingredients. Easy.
Then mix up your cheesecake layer, and add in some caramel sauce. See?
Pour that over the brownie situation and you’re good to go.
Bake it and drizzle more caramel. Because it’s dope to drizzle.
Did I just say that? Eww.
