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.
