M&M Cheesecake Brownies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Okay, are you ready for a divine and decadent brownie? M&M Cheesecake Brownies have it all! They have a scrumptious M&M cookie crust that’s topped with a cheesecake layer, then more cookie dough is crumbled over top, followed by M&Ms sprinkled over all. These brownies are the real deal.

Follow Me On Instagram!

They’re everything you want it a brownie and so much more! I actually baked this recipe on a quarter cookie sheet pan (about 11″x17″) so each recipe makes 48. M&M Cheesecake Brownies are great to take to birthday parties, brunches, baby showers, potlucks or to have around the house (if you dare!) whenever you want a chocolate fix.

Many of you who follow my blog know that we moved from our home south of the Metroplex (DFW area) last August. We have been living in temporary quarters while our new home is being built. Well, we are less than three weeks out now (FINALLY!!!!!), and since my freezer was empty of goodies I knew it was time to fill it back up again before we begin the move-in process, because I expect to be out of commission (i.e., not cooking) for about three weeks.

It has been almost nine months since we began the process of building and almost a year since we originally put everything in order and got our former house up on the market. So our lives have kind of been in an uproar, and in an unsettled state for some time. While we’ve tried to make the best of it, I’ll be so glad to finally be moved into our new house sometime in March. Yay!

John likes to take treats with him whenever he visits folks so I made 12 different versions of this recipe, and each one turned out spectacularly, if I do say so myself. 🙂 I spent four days last week making these goodies so I could stock the freezer, so hopefully I have enough stuff to pass out for the next couple of months.

I find it easy to make soups, muffins and breads and stash them in my freezer, too, then when someone is moving, sick, having a baby or just home from the hospital, I can defrost those items from my freezer and have a meal ready pretty quickly.

If you’re looking for a fantastic dessert brownie to wow your company, M&M Cheesecake Brownies will knock their socks off! If you’re an M&M lover, you’ll be in seventh heaven. Enjoy. 🙂

Press one-half to two-thirds of the mixture into a greased 11″x17″ baking sheet. (You may have to sprinkle a tablespoon or two of flour over the ingredients so the dough doesn’t stick to your hands or fork when pressing into the cookie sheet.
