Easy Cheesecake Brownies
Having quick and easy dessert ideas is a must in our house. My entire family loves to enjoy something sweet after dinner most nights of the week. The kids like to include a sweet treat with their lunches. I usually make cookies because they are simple to make in large batches.

My kiddos decided that they were not thrilled with another cookie recipe this week and requested some brownies. We have been quite busy with doctor appointments with my little one this past month. I picked up some boxed brownies and some cake mixes so that I could make some easy desserts for the next few weeks.
I like to take a store bought mix and kick it up with something special. It’s amazing some of the great desserts that can all start with a box mix. One of our favorite desserts is our Boston Cream Poke Cake and it starts with a boxed mix but tastes amazing!
Very few ingredients are needed for these amazing Cheesecake Brownies. Grab your favorite brownie mix and ingredients as well as an egg, sugar, and cream cheese. You can have these brownies in the oven in no time at all.
