There probably is no better combination than chocolate and cheesecake so I obviously love these cheesecake brownies. I’d add a little coffee to the brownie mixture . It seems to bring out the chocolate flavor.
I’ll have to try that sometime 🙂
These looks like they turned out excellent, so pretty and they sound great as well
Yum, these look delicious, I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
