This little brownie is to die for. The richness of the brownie is offset nicely with the sweetness of the cheesecake topper. I originally was going to make this more of a swirl, which you could easily do by mixing the cheesecake topper into the brownie mixture but I decided to leave them stacked.
Grab a cup of milk or coffee and enjoy.
