I made this for an office party, and it was a hit. Everyone was asking for the recipe. I will definitely be making this again.

These were okay, but there was alot going on. These cheesecake and brownie parts were competing with each other. My family ate them, but I probably will not make them again.

Delicious! The center of the brownie did not bake completely, so I ended up throwing half of it away. The part we did eat was great though!

Made it for a Bacherlett Party! Everyone one loved it and they kept going back for more. I used fudge brownie, used the box with the spoon on the front. Tips: I cooked the brownies @ 350 degrees for 25 min and put the eggs in one at a time and hand mixed it till the egg disappeared. Do the same for the cheese cake part. I changed the Temp. back to 325 for baking the cheese cake exactly 40 min. Came out Perfect. I also used Parchment paper on the bottom of my pan and buttered the sides completely. :) Watching Kraft's video online about cheese cakes also helped. They gave pointers about breaking the cream cheese up into cubes before mixing. :)

I made this recipe by using the Kraft published booklet that was mailed to my house. It turned out that the brownie did NOT completely bake (center was not done at all) The book version indicated to bake the brownie layer for 15 minutes. Obviously, a misprint. The center was horrible. I served this to my co-workers & had to throw away the center section. I looked up the recipe on this website to discover that the brownie portion was suppose to bake for a good 25 minutes. I will make this again, but use the website recipe version instead. I will also bake the brownie base a good 30 minutes before pouring the cheesecake layer on it.
