Brownies are my grandson Noah's favorite, so we always make some when he comes to visit. These ooey-gooey brownies are a definite crowd-pleaser. —Barbara Banzhof, Muncy, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)

Very moist! Did not put any frosting on top; still rather chocolate-y without it.

Too rich, six our of eight who tried it didn't like it. I would prefer regular brownies with frosting.

These are the best brownies and I make them frequently. Does anyone know if they have to be refridgerated? I always store them in the fridge, but are they okay to set out for awhile because of the cream cheese?

Excellent. I won $150 cash with this recipe at my 2010 office Christmas luncheon dessert category.

Delicious! The entire family loved it! Next time I make it I will only spread 1 1/2 cups of brownie on bottom of pan though.

I have tried other cheesecake brownie recipes, but this one is the best by far! My sons love these and ask me to make them all the time. A month or so ago, I took them as part of meal to a sick friend, and she called today saying that she was craving these brownies. Awesome recipe.....wouldn't change a thing!

My family was in a panic because I misplaced the magazine and couldn't find the recipe. I was looking under cream cheese brownies. My husband searced the magazine racks at numerous stores trying to find the recipe. Finally, while cleaning, it showed up. Everyone who has tried one loves them. I make them over and over...

My family loved these brownies. I made these for a family cookout and they were a massive hit. Not a crumb was left. I highly reccomend this recipe. Try it, it's so easy to make and your family will go crazy over them.

Great recipe. Would recommend. Not hard to make. Will make them again and again.

I made this once and am about to make it again. My family loved it so much my poor husband never even got to try one because our four children and I ate them all. I'm going to frost them with the frosting, then put them in the fridge for a while to make them easier to cut and to firm up the frosting. I'd recommend this for anyone who loves chocolate! :)

I frosted it with a can of Milk chocolate frosting while still slightly warm. I could have eaten the whole thing right there. Would be fab warm with a scoop of ice cream.
