Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies



Sweet and salty brownies with peanut butter cheesecake batter swirled in a dark chocolate brownie batter that is fudgy and to die for. 
Its peanut butter and chocolate time!
These brownies might be perfect brownies you'll ever see. They have cheesecake batter, peanut butter and chocolate.
That is perfect in my book. I've made cheesecake brownies several times and thought it needed a salty element hence the peanut butter.
Peanut butter and chocolate is a match made in heaven because of the sweet and saltiness.  Its one of my favorite combos.
To me they taste like the Oreo cookies that had the peanut butter flavored filling instead of the regular. Those were my favorite.
