Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (21 1/2 ounce) package fudge brownie mix
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
12 caramels, unwrapped

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but I loved these brownies. The caramel swirl added a perfect touch of sweetness, and the brownies were fudgy and moist.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the brownie batter.

These brownies were a complete disaster! The cheesecake filling didn't set properly, and the brownies were overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found these brownies to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding some more butter or oil to the brownie batter next time.
