Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars
Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars layer rich boxed brownies topped with cream cheese cheesecake and Oreo cookies, finished with a chocolate ganache. The brownies bake partially with Oreos pressed into the batter, then a smooth cheesecake layer is spread on top and baked again. The final touch is a ganache glaze made from chocolate chips and cream for a decadent finish. These bars combine fudgy, creamy, and crunchy textures in a single dessert.

Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with nonstick baking spray.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the directions on the box.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread out evenly.
- Line the top of the batter with 16 Oreos and slightly push them into the batter.
- Bake this layer for 35-40 minutes, until the top is set but not completely done.
Cheesecake
- Add the cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Add in the sour cream and sugar. Beat until combined.
- Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix just until everything is incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the top of the brownies and spread to the edges.
- Bake for another 30-35 minutes, until the edges are a light brown color and the middle doesn’t jiggle.
- Remove and cool for 30 minutes before topping with the chocolate.
Ganache
- Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream into a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Stir constantly.
- Once the chocolate chips are completely melted, remove the pan from the stove and spoon all over the top of the cheesecake layer.
- Crush up the remaining 6 Oreos and sprinkle all over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cut and serve.
