Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars
Love Cheesecake? Oreos? Brownies? How about eating them all in one single bite? Yes, heaven exists and it’s inside these delicious and decadent Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars. When you eat it, you will feel the fudgy brownie texture, the crunchy oreos in between both layers and the creamy cheesecake on top. It is truly amazing.
I’ve tried a lot of Oreo cheesecakes before and love the taste. However, I felt the crumby bottom needed something, that’s when I got an Eureka moment – BROWNIES! Nobody can’t resist a brownies and better yet when it has a creamy topping. The results were exactly what I expected (which is rare) – a dessert treat that was favorited by both kids and adults.
For these Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars I used the tiny Oreos in between the layers because they are easier to cut when ready and look really cute. Instead of buying a whole package, I got the ones that come in little cups for the car. That way, I wasn’t tempted on munching the whole package while watching TV. They are just too good.
If you have kids at home, this is the perfect recipe for them to help you cook. Yesterday was teacher planning day at my oldest school. Since she was bored at home, we made these bars. She helped mix, fill and place the oreos over the brownies before adding the cheesecake batter on top.
I hope you can try these delicious Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
