To make these Milky Way cheesecake brownies, start with the ingredients. Gather these items: - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 4 Milky Way bars, chopped into small pieces - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon milk - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Next, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. This step helps with easy removal later. Now, let’s make the brownie batter. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with both sugars. Whisk until smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix. You want just enough to combine until you see no flour streaks. Now, gently fold in the chopped Milky Way bars. This adds a rich chocolatey flavor and chewy texture to your brownies. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Smooth it out with a spatula. Next, let’s prepare the cheesecake layer. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mix over the brownie layer. Use a knife to swirl it gently, creating a nice marbled effect. Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Use the spatula to spread it evenly. Now, place the pan in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. After baking, let the brownies cool for about 15 minutes in the pan. Lift them out using the parchment paper. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely before you slice them into squares. For a great presentation, place the brownies on a nice platter. Dust the top with powdered sugar and drizzle warm chocolate sauce over them. Enjoy this rich and creamy dessert!

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 Milky Way bars, chopped into small pieces

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.

    Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with both the granulated and brown sugars. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract to incorporate.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix—just combine until you see no streaks of flour.

        Incorporate Milky Way Bars: Gently fold in the chopped Milky Way bars into your brownie batter until evenly distributed.

          Pour Batter into the Pan: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.

            Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

              Layer the Cheesecake Mixture: Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the pan. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl gently through the mixtures, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                Add Remaining Brownie Batter: Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer, using the spatula to gently spread it for coverage.

                  Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.

                    Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift them out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
