• Puffy Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Swirled Brownie

  

  1 brownie mix of choice (9 x 13) along with ingredients as directed on back of package
   
  8 oz. softened cream cheese
   
  1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
   
  1/4 cup sugar
   
  1 egg
   
  1 tsp. vanilla
   
  2 cups mini marshmallows
   
  12 regular size Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, cut into cubes
   
  1 cup chocolate chips
   
  1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, melted in microwave to drizzle
   
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place brownie mix and ingredients on back of box as directed (eggs, oil, water) into a large mixing bowl.  Mix until combined and pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  In a separate bowl mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.  Drop by the tablespoon evenly over the brownie batter.
   
   Take a knife or toothpick and swirl the cheese mixture through the brownie batter.  Bake for 30-32 minutes or until cooked through.
   
  Once brownies are just about cooked, with about 2 minutes left, sprinkle marshmallows, Reeses cups and chocolate chips over brownies.  Cook for 2-3 minutes or until marshmallows are puffed slightly.  Remove and cool completely before cutting.  While brownies are cooling, drizzle melted peanut butter over bars.  Let cool.
   
  Once cool, cut and enjoy!
