I didn't think this recipe had enough flavor. If I try it again, I'll have to modify both the brownie and the cheesecake. Maybe a thin raspberry layer would help. Something to drive flavor.

I am only reviewing the cheesecake part. I used a brownie mix but followed the directions for the cheesecake part. I did not like the texture much, it was too fluffy and didn't taste like cheesecake. My husband loved it though, he thought they were pretty amazing. I know it's not the brownie because I use that mix often. Might try to find another recipe.

Good but not quite as decadent as I had hoped.

I used a 1/2 cup of butter and a 1/2 of shortening. I really liked these. I was out of brown sugar so I subbed with torbinado(sp) sugar. The top of mine were a little crispy but it was my fault for leaving it in the oven for too long.

These were soooo delicious. I followed recipe exactly. Not sure why other reviewers are having uncooked areas of their dish, mine was actually overcooked by about 5 minutes. There was a slight "burn" taste on the bottom. Next time I will bake this at 325 degrees. My boyfriend and his sons at this whole pan in 2 days! Sheesh! I loved the cheesecake layer and am thinking this would be a great filling for cupcakes, etc. It is divine. Thank you for the great recipe. This one is a keeper.

Wow - the pictures on this one sold me before I even started mixing. I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out wonderfully! They tasted just as bad for me as they looked. :) I had several ask for the recipe and several that didn't like cheesecake said they loved them too. Definitely an indulgence, but worth the extra time on the treadmill!

I used 1.5 eggs, vanilla, and nearly twice the sugar for the cream cheese portion. Also, I baked it in layers. One more thing was I substituted 1 cup margarine for one of the cups of shortening. I think this gives it more flavor. This is best served cold. When served warm out of the oven it does have an "eggy" taste.

These were good but are a little time consuming to prepare.

It's passable. I was dissapointed that the cookie/brownie layer didn't have more flavor to it. I followed the recipe exactly, though used the method of partially cooking each layer to asure doneness. Likely will not make this again as it was a lot of work for less than mediocre flavor. I do have some co-workers that like it. And maybe I'll hope that it gets better after a few days of sitting on my counter. ?
