Christine of I Dig Pinterest

Ingredients
  

  • Brownie Layer:
  • 1 box brownie mix 19 oz.
  • 1/2 c. butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • Cheesecake Layer:
  • 16 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
  • 1/2 c. Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips plus 1/2 c. for topping

Instructions
 

  • Line a 13x9" cake pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix dry brownie mix, melted butter, and egg. Press mixture into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
  • For the cheesecake layer, in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened cream cheese, eggs, peppermint extract, and 1/2 c. Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips. Spread the cheesecake layer over the baked brownie base. Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 c. Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips, return to the oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or just until cheesecake layer is set. It will get puffy, but you don't want it to be really jiggly. Let cool completely, chill in the refrigerator, then slice and serve.
