Peanut Butter Toffee Cheesecake Brownies are a decadent dessert created from a box of brownie mix.
These Peanut Butter Toffee Cheesecake Brownies combine everything I love about a really good dessert: rich chocolate brownies, creamy peanut butter, crunchy toffee bits, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping.
They are rich and decadent, but they are also surprisingly easy to make because the brownie layer starts with a boxed brownie mix. The peanut butter cheesecake layer is spread over the brownie batter before baking, then the cooled brownies are finished with chocolate ganache and more toffee bits.
The result is a beautiful layered brownie that is perfect for holiday baking, dessert tables, potlucks, parties, and any occasion when you need a dessert that will serve a crowd. Continue reading PEANUT BUTTER TOFFEE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES
