YUM! Making for Fathers day
YES you have to – they’re so good 🙌🏼
Does the cheesecake brownie recipe use 1 egg or 2? I see 2 in the ingredients but the instructions mention adding only 1.
Hey Cyndi! You need 2 eggs – 1 for the brownie mix and 1 for the cheese mixture!
Yum! Thank you for sharing! It may be less confusing if the ingredient list indicates one egg, since the instructions state prepare brownies according to box instructions. Just a suggestion!
Yes I totally understand – thank you! Hope you enjoyed them!
Yum! Making this now! Question: do you have to keep them in the refrigerator because of the cream cheese? Or ok to store them at room temperature on the counter?
They are so yummy 🤩 I would keep them in the refrigerator!
In follow up to question below, What if the box recipe calls for 4 eggs for 13×9 pan
I would follow the box recipe!
