Ultimate Reese's Cheesecake Brownies #brownies #cheesecake #cakes

Swirls of chocolate and peanut butter make these Ultimate Reese’s Cheesecake Brownies absolutely irresistible. These brownies always disappear in a hurry at parties and events.

When the kids were younger they knew how much I loved Reese’s candies. Any time they got peanut butter cups from school, church, or parties they would bring them home and give them to me excitedly.

Tips for making the Ultimate Reese’s Cheesecake Brownies:

• Line a 9×13 pan with foil lined parchment paper. Set it aside.
• Make your brownie batter first and pour it into the pan. Feel free to use a box brownie mix for a 9×13 pan or a double batch of these Homemade Chocolate Chip Brownies (minus the chocolate chips) for this layer.
• Beat the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter until creamy. Add a can of sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, egg, and vanilla and beat again until creamy.
• Stir in the chopped peanut butter cup candies gently. You can use regular Reese’s chopped up into quarters. Or use a bag of the Reese’s minis and cut them in half. Either one works.
• Bake and cool these Ultimate Reese’s Cheesecake Brownies before adding the topping.
