I have a real addiction, and I am not afraid to admit it. I sneak peanut butter into just about every recipe I can! We love dressing up a regular boxed brownie mix, it makes baking so much easier. Trust me, they are as delicious as they are pretty!

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies Recipe
We love these cheesecake brownies with a swirl of peanut butter.
Ingredients
- 21.5 ounces brownie mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
- Prepare brownie mix as directed on the box.
- Pour brownies into greased 9x13 pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla.
- Once smooth, slowly beat in peanut butter until combined.
- Spoon peanut butter mixture over brownie batter. Don't spread it around, just kind of glop it on top!
- Using a butter knife, swirl your peanut butter mixture into your brownies by slowly moving the knife back and forth, making sure to spread the mixture to each edge of the pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

I made these brownies tonight to take to a friend's house. I really like the fact that there is no added sugar in the cheesecake part of the recipe. The brownie provides plenty of sweetness. I did add some chopped peanut butter cups to the cheesecake batter. I will definitely make these again!

Do you serve these warm or do you chill them first?
