Cheesecake Brownies

A friend suggested this recipe and chocolate brownies and cheesecake seem like an ever so tempting blend of delisciousness...why not?
I started of with buying a bar of hershey's as a preferred choice even though it is quite pricy. This recipe is quite simple but do be careful with it as the cheesecake filling is quite sensitive with the chocolate batter. Cracking appears less....do not overbeat and keep the temp low.

The result is a delicious tray of cheesecake brownies...I suggest you let the chocolate goo to remain in the middle so the whole cheesecake brownie appears most soft and moist to eat.
Enjoy!
