Brownies are one of my favorite desserts.  Chicken Legs claims to not like brownies, but every time I make them he says “I don’t like brownies, but these are really good!”  Well, these brownies were no exception.  The recipe is from The Fat Witch Bakery cookbook (great cookbook by the way!).  The brownies are the perfect mixture of cheesecake and brownie.  They are absolutely delicious!  Make sure you have some milk on hand when you make these, you are going to need it!

After opening 25 Pins or more I finally found the only recipe thus far that doesn't being with:
