If you are looking for a fun and tasty dessert for Halloween then you have to make these Ghost Cheesecake Brownies. Perfect for parties, kids and everything in between.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, set aside.
Mix the brownie mix, eggs, water, and melted butter in a large bowl. Stir by hand or with a hand mixer until combined and there are no dry patches. Set aside.
Cheesecake Batter
Place everything in a large bowl. With a hand mixer, mix everything until smooth. Set aside.
Brownie Assembly
Pour half of the brownie batter in the baking pan, smooth out evenly. Pour 2/3 of the cheesecake batter on top, smooth out evenly. Pour out and smooth remaining brownie batter on top.
Dollop cheesecake batter all over. Using a knife or toothpick, run through the dollops and form ghosts.
Bake for 25-27 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
Once cool, place mini chocolate chips as the eyes and regular chocolate chips as the mouths, press in with a toothpick.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, this will ensure that you will get all the lumps out.
You can make your own homemade brownie batter if you'd like.
Do not place the chocolate chips on until the brownies are cooled or they will melt.
These can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
If you don't want to make ghosts, simply swirl your cheesecake mixture around, this is perfect for any occasion.
Color your cheesecake mixture with food coloring to give it some extra flair.
