Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Brownies

My obsession with cheesecake continues. I knew that I would love this recipe even before I made it! Unfortunately, there is no way to skinny this recipe up at all. You could buy fat free cream cheese to make yourself feel a little better. But I promise it is worth every bite. And I may or may not have had one for breakfast. They are that good! The contrasting textures in this dessert are what make it SOOO GOOD! You get the thick and moist cookie brownie, the creaminess of the cheesecake filling, and finally the crunch of the chocolate chips. When I first tried these, I knew they would be one of my new favorite desserts. The best part was having my kids help me make these. There were plenty of “jobs” for everyone to do, we had a “cheesecake team” and “brownie team” to divide up the tasks. It was a fun family time that added to the joy of eating these yummy treats in the end! The brownies don’t last long at all, but the memories sure will!
