    Moist and flavorful non-traditional brownies mix with a mint cheesecake. This one is definitely a must try kinda brownie.

    Mint Cheesecake Brownies

    These mint cheesecake brownies are a wonderful treat to bake when you know you have company coming over or whenever you have to take a dish somewhere you go, especially during the holidays. Everyone will love them. They are that good!

    Not hard to make at all and not time consuming either. The longest and hardest part about them is you not wanting to finish them because you want to savor each and every bite.

    Happened with me. 🙂

     Don't these look just sinful, but in a super great way? If you aren't a huge mint fan you can always omit the peppermint extract and just stick with the Andes Mint Chocolate Baking Chips. Just enough mint, but not too much.

    My hubby is a huge mint lover, especially mint ice cream. No way. I like just enough mint so I can taste it, but not over the top. Now give me double or triple chocolate, then I am totally in!

    I am a huge, huge chocolate and pumpkin lover. 🙂

    Mint Cheesecake Brownies

    Remember earlier how I told you how easy these are to make? Here are go. All you have to do is melt butter, mix sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour, salt, chocolate chips. I told you so!

    The cheesecake is super easy to make as well. You do not have to worry about letting the butter soften for these brownies, but you just have to make sure your cream cheese is softened. Once your cream cheese has softened you just cream it with sugar, an egg yolk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract.

    Not too hard and easy enough to have the little ones help you out as well. My nieces would have loved to help me with these and maybe taste the batter. I always do that and it is super yummy, but probably not the best because of the raw eggs. Gotta live sometimes and be sinful with these sinful brownies. 🙂
