Turtle Cheesecake Fudge Brownies

Turtle Cheesecake Fudge Brownies are rich fudge brownies with a caramel cheesecake swirl, topped with chopped pecans.

Yesterday, while I was making a batch of these delicious fudge brownies, my son Aiden called me from school and asked if we could bake that night so he could bring in some treats for the front office ladies. I told him I had just made some brownies and could bring them when I pick him up from school. He was so excited. When I got to school, he ran out to the car, grabbed the treats and skipped back into the school. If you are a mom of a pre-teen boy, you know that if they are skipping, it must be a big deal, as they are way too cool to do that anymore.

He came back out with the biggest smile. I asked who he gave them to. He said the front office lady, who is literally the sweetest person. The other two bags went to the media center ladies who are so nice even though sometimes the kids are rude to them, so he thought a treat would help make them feel appreciated. I am thinking he is right. Treats, cards, a Merry Christmas, or even just a simple thank you or thinking of you line every now and then can make anyone feel some love. Aiden truly understands what it means to #spreadcheer.

Whether you want to make brownies, Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms, Chocolate Snowballs, or Candy Kissed Snowman Cookies it’s always great to share delicious food as a holiday gift.

How do you make Turtle Cheesecake Fudge Brownies?

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.

In small mixing bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Set aside.

Make brownie batter according to package directions.

Spread the brownie batter in prepared pan. Spoon filling by tablespoonful’s over batter; carefully swirl the cream cheese filling into the brownie batter, making sure not to over mix.

Top batter with chopped Hershey’s bar. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of caramel and add pecans on the caramel, then give the batter one more swirl.

Place in oven and bake 52-57 minutes or until toothpick inserted 1 inch from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool about 1 hour (brownies will still be warm). Cut into 6 by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
