Can’t decide what to make for dessert?  Be sure to please any crowd with these three layer bars – part brownie, part cheesecake, part cookie.  Plus, they’re loaded with Butterfinger and semi-sweet chocolate morsels.  Yup.

Being the nervous baker that I am, it’s rare that I actually ever make dessert.  When I do, it’s really challenging to pick what to bake.  The fact that I rarely make sweet treats makes it super hard to narrow it down to one!

And then I remembered a recipe my mom used to make for marbled cheesecake brownies.  They were so durn good.  Let’s be honest… adding to cream cheese to anything sweet or savory makes it taste better.

So while I was hanging out in the baking mix aisle of Publix, debating brownie vs. cookie and what’s best with cream cheese, I made a wild choice – why not combine all three: brownie, cheesecake AND cookie.  Yup.

And while I’m at it?  Use the new NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Cookies & More and Brownies and More Baking Mixes to add in the extra goodness of Butterfinger and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels.

Go big or go home, right?

The new Nestle Toll House mixes, with no artificial colors or flavors, really make it possible to come up with some super-fun new recipes.  A full cup of morsels or baking bits unlocks all sorts of chocolate baking desserts!

Can you believe, I made this?  I’m pretty sure my mom and sister are picking their jaws off the floor right now.

You know if I can do it, you can do it too!  It’s really just a matter of:

1) Prepare the Nestle Toll House Brownies and More Baking Mix according to the package directions and pour into a prepared pan.

2) Beat cream cheese, sugar, and eggs until smooth, then pour on top of the brownie batter in the pan.

3) Prepare the Nestle Toll House Cookies and More Mix according to package directions then crumble on top of the cheesecake batter.

4) Bake.  Then, if you can stand it, be patient so they can cool before you slice them!
