"What can I say? Yummy if you love cheesecake-like me :) I found with this recipe, if you refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, the taste is just as delicious."

A great and yummy idea, however, I would highly suggest not cooking the brownies all the way. After the cheesecake was baked, the brownies were too hard. Next time I'll bake for 1/2 as long as directed!

Initially, I didnt think much of this recipe. Thought it would be "plain" ... nothing spectacular(Im not a chocolate nut). BOY was I mistaken!! I made this for a friend and we were all WOW'D... The combination of the brownie and cheesecake is outstanding! NOTE: I used the option of a "fudge" brownie instead of "cake" brownie.. great choice!

This was delicious! I baked the brownie base in a regular rectangular pan and poured the cheesecake mixture into that as well as I wanted to make squares. Of course there was way to much cheesecake mixture for that (I don't know why I didn't think of that!), so if I did that again I would reduce the cheesecake mix to 1/3. The cheesecake wasn't quite as sweet as I would like so I drizzled the squares with some caramel sauce. Also I had to reduce the baking time because of the way I baked the recipe. The leftover mix was used to make lovely little mini cheesecakes.
