Ingredients

📦 1 box of fudge brownie mix
🥚 Eggs (as per brownie mix instructions)
🛢️ 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or as per brownie box instructions)
💧 1/3 cup water (or as per brownie box instructions)

🧀 2 x 8 oz packets of Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
🍚 1/4 cup sugar
🥄 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
🥚 2 eggs

🍫 Chocolate chips
🍯 Caramel sauce

Instructions

1- Preheat and Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Grease a baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.

2- Prepare the Brownie Mix:

Follow the instructions on your box of fudge brownie mix using the specified eggs, oil, and water.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Set aside.

3- Make the Cheesecake Layer:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the pan, spreading it evenly.

4- Marble the Mixtures:

Using a knife, gently swirl the cheesecake and brownie mixtures together to create a marbled effect.

5- Bake:

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. The cheesecake should be set, and if a knife is inserted in the center, it should come out mostly clean.

6- Cool:

Remove from the oven and let it rest at room temperature for about an hour. It’s important not to cut it while it's hot. Allow it to cool completely.

7- Prepare the Caramel Topping:

Melt the caramel bites with a splash of milk, following the instructions on the bag, until smooth.

8- Finish and Serve:

Pour the melted caramel sauce over the cooled cheesecake brownie. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
