Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Microwaveable Bowl
  • Baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie mix
  • 16 ounce Cream cheese- room temperature
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ cup Peanut butter
  • 15 mini Butterfingers- crushed 10 for the filling and 5 for the topping
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup Heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the brownie mix as the instructions are listed on the box.
  • Bake in a prepared 9x9 pan following the temperature and time instructions on the box.
  • Once baked, allow it to cool enough to touch.
  • Using a large spoon, lightly press down on the brownie to compact it down slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • To start the filling, place the cream cheese and sugar into a mixing bowl.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Once well combined, add in the marshmallow fluff and mix.
  • Add in the peanut butter and the crushed Butterfingers cheesecake filling mixture and mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is streak free.
  • Pour over the brownie and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Once the 20 minutes are up, without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 200 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Once finished baking, turn the oven off leaving the cheesecake inside for 10 minutes.
  • Remove and allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature.
  • Once at room temperature, make the chocolate ganache.
  • Place the chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream. Microwave for 1 minute and mix until shiny and silky smooth.
  • If the ganache is lumpy or matte looking after mixing for a minute, place back in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Pour the ganache over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
  • Once the chocolate has been spread, sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger crumbs evenly across the chocolate.
  • Cover the cheesecake, and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Once chilled, take out and cut into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy.
