Indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with these decadent Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies. This show-stopping treat combines the rich fudginess of chocolate brownies with a velvety cream cheese layer and luxurious caramel swirls that will have everyone asking for the recipe.

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Swirl:

  • 1 cup caramel candies
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined – don’t overmix.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Create the Caramel Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Assemble the Brownies: Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, then gently spread it out, leaving some areas uncovered for a marbled effect. Drop the remaining brownie batter in dollops over the cheesecake layer. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, then use a knife to create beautiful swirl patterns throughout.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. The top should be lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portions should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. For best results, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent touch, you can add chopped Milky Way candy bars to the brownie batter before baking. Use about 1 cup of chopped candy, folded in just before spreading the batter in the pan.
  • If you prefer a more pronounced caramel flavor, reserve some of the caramel sauce to drizzle over individual pieces when serving. Store any leftover caramel sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These brownies can be made up to three days in advance, making them perfect for party planning. The flavors actually improve after a day or two as they meld together.
