Whisk in remaining ingredients. Spread batter in thin layer on bottom of prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 10 minutes. Cool.

  • Stir sour cream and sugar in small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes (do not boil). Spread topping evenly over filling. Cool slightly. Cover; chill until topping sets, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead; keep chilled.) Cut dessert into 24 bars. Serve cold.

These bars were a hit! I made them for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Not a fan. The cheesecake filling was too thick and the brownie part was too cakey. I wouldn't make these again.

Absolutely divine! The flavors of chocolate and coffee complement each other so well. I'm already planning to make these again for my next party.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them! I think next time I'll try using less sugar.

Meh. Not as good as I was hoping. The cheesecake filling was too dense and the brownie part was a bit dry.

Easy and delicious! The only change I made was to use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Will definitely be making these again.

5 stars! Loved the addition of coffee to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate. Just the right amount of fudginess too.
