Ingredients

  • For the brownie layer:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • For the topping:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Let cool slightly, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Fold in flour and salt until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips if using. Spread batter into prepared pan.
  4. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in sugar, egg, vanilla, and caramel sauce until creamy.
  5. Pour cheesecake mixture over brownie layer and gently spread evenly.
  6. Top with chopped Milky Way bars, pressing lightly into cheesecake layer.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until center is set and toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in pan, then chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Use a box brownie mix to save time—just prepare as directed and add cheesecake topping.
  • Swap Milky Ways for Snickers, Twix, or Rolos for variation.
  • Chill fully before slicing for clean, distinct layers.
  • For deeper flavor, add 1 tsp espresso powder to the brownie batter.
  • Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
