Candy Bar Cheesecake Brownies

Don't throw away all those candy bars; you can turn them into rich and delicious cheesecake brownies!  In the latest Halloween edition of the Taste of Home magazine there is a recipe that calls for your favorite candy bar not only in the cheesecake layer, but the brownies too.  I had lots of candy bars so I couldn't wait to make these.  They're simple to make, they use staple ingredients and they bake up in about half an hour.  These are rich and delicious, so enjoy!

Easy Candy Bars

 

The holidays can be quite hectic and if you're like me, you have a lot of people to buy for.  I like to make sure that everyone knows how thankful I am for all that they do.  Every year I make a small homemade gift to show my appreciation; this year we're making personalized candy bars.  Even though it's a small token, I want it to be delicious so only a good quality chocolate will do!  One company I have come to love is Chocoley.

Take 5 Brownie Bars

 

One of our favorite candy bars are Take 5, however where I live, they are impossible to find!  I have looked in every major store, the gas stations, little mom & pop shops, but nope...no candy bars! I looked on the internet and there are quite a few others who have this problem too.  If everyone loves them then why are they so hard to find?  So the other day I was craving one, and of course we didn't have any, so I decided to come up with something on my own and they sure did hit the spot!
