Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2 To make the cheesecake layer; Add all the ingredients except for the candy cane
to your mixing bowl. Beat over medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly, stir
in crushed candy cane. Set aside.
3 For the brownie layer; In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, sugar
and water. Stir frequently until a syrupy mixture forms and lightly starts to
bubble. Be careful not to burn. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate
chips. Beat in the egg.
4 In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda and salt. Pour chocolate mixture in
with the flour and mix to combine.
5 Line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper. (Make sure to leave just a
little bit of paper on the sides so you can easily pull the brownies out of the
dish when they are finished.)
6 Pour brownie mixture evenly along the bottom of the dish. Then pour the
cheesecake layer directly on top.
7 Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cheesecake layer will be somewhat firm. Then, remove from oven. Sprinkle with
crushed candy cane. Let cool completely.
8 Cut brownies into 16 pieces. Enjoy!
