Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Milky Way bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cheesecake Caramel Swirl
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

(store-bought or melted Milky Way caramel)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Build the Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, combine butter + sugar until smooth. Add eggs + vanilla, mixing until glossy. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until the batter forms. Fold in chopped Milky Way pieces + chocolate chips.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Swirl
In another bowl, whip cream cheese + caramel sauce together until silky smooth.
Step 4: Layer & Swirl
Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cheesecake caramel mixture on top, then add the remaining batter. Use a knife to swirl for a marbled finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
