Peanut Butter Cheesecake Fudge Brownies

The best word to describe these brownies is decadent. They're rich and delicious and relatively easy to make. This is a slightly modified version of these brownies.


Ingredients

• 1 box fudge brownie mix (and whatever it requires)
• 2 eggs (called for by the fudge brownie mix)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (called for by the fudge brownie mix)
• 8oz cream cheese
• 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 12oz package milk chocolate chips
• 3 Tbls milk
• 20 mini peanut butter cups

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


Mix the fudge brownie batter according to the directions on the box. The mix I used called for combining the mix with two eggs and a half cup of vegetable oil. Your mix may be different. Pour the batter into the a greased 9x13 baking pan.


Soften the cream cheese in a bowl in the microwave, 30 seconds to a minute should do. Mix the condensed milk and peanut butter with the softened cream cheese. The mixture will be thick. Spoon evenly over the fudge brownie batter in the baking pan. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the brownie is firm and starts to brown.

Let the brownie cool for 30 minutes and then put it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.


Add the milk and milk chocolate chips to a bowl. Using the microwave, slowly heat the chocolate until it melts and you are able to mix it with the milk to form a smooth mixture. Be careful not to burn the chocolate. Heat the chocolate for only a few seconds at a time before stirring and heating again. Once the milk and milk chocolate chips are mixed evenly, spread it evenly over the brownie.


Carefully cut the peanut butter cups in half and place evenly on the top of the brownie.

Cut the brownies into your desired portion size and enjoy.
