Cheesecake Brownie Bites a one bite treat that you will love. A sturdy brownie base with a cheesecake filling make these great for a party or to take to your next get together at work.
While I love my chocolate muffins with their cheesecake filling, they are really more of a cupcake then a brownie. I wanted to try the same type of flavors but with a sturdier base. These captured the essence of the cupcake, but since there is a brownie base, they are much sturdier. 
I like these in the mini form possibly more than my chocolate muffins. They are great to send to school or to an event, and small enough to pop the whole thing in your mouth. I am taking them to a luncheon this week and will see if others agree with me.
