- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Sweet and alluring.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter evenly.
- Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer and sprinkle the chopped Milky Way bars on top.
- Spread the remaining brownie batter over the top layer gently.
- Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce over the brownie layer.
Baking
- Bake the brownies for about 35-40 minutes or until set yet gooey in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling & Serving
- Allow your brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Tips: Always ensure cream cheese is softened adequately for mixing. Don’t skip lining the baking pan to make removal easier. Consider using alternatives for a healthier option, such as whole grain flour or low-fat cream cheese.
