Kahlua. Cheesecake. Snickers. Brownies. Nah...I'm not name-dropping, nope...not me! I would never! Ok...I'm totally name-dropping here! Put all 4 of these 'rock star headliners' together and you get the most outrageous, delectable brownies EVER! These easy brownies are infused with boozy Kahlua and stuffed with Snickers bars and cheesecake galore! Seriously the most heavenly brownies ever!!
I am kind of embarrassed to say this, but it's all I could do not to dive face down {without coming up for air} into these rich lovely treats after I took the first bite! I know the damage I can do when it comes to just brownies alone! It isn't pretty. 🙁
If you're not familiar with Kahlua...Kahlúa is a rich coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur from Mexico and it's delicious in coffee, cream and all kinds of desserts, especially these brownies!
We decided to go over the top even more and stuff these brownies with Snickers candy bars and swirled cheesecake! So we get bits of nougat topped with caramel and peanuts drenched in milk chocolate from the candy bars, cheesecake, AND Kahlua in these brownies. These are what you call comfort brownies! YUM!
So my advice? If you want to get someone's attention or get a marriage proposal out of it {You know who you are!} ----> Kahlua Cheesecake Snickers Brownies will make it happen! Enjoy these brownies!!

Kahlua Cheesecake Snickers Brownies
Ingredients
Dark Fudge Brownie Mix
- 1 package fudge brownie mix 20 ounce, prepare brownie box instructions
- ¼ cup Kahlua
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua
Topping
- Snickers 8 oz bag, chopped into slices or quarters - divide into 2 groups for layers or cut up 4 large Snickers bars, divided
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325. Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Prepare brownie mix and stir in ¼ cup Kahlua in medium-large bowl and prepare according to instructions on brownie box) and set aside.
- In a small bowl, use mixer and beat together the cream cheese.
- Then add in sugar, mix and then add in 2 tablespoons Kahlua and egg yolk until evenly blended.
- Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- Drop half the cream cheese mixture by spoonfuls over the brownie batter, divide the Snickers into 2 groups, then add one-half of the Snickers on top of cream cheese and brownie mixture.
- Pour the other half of the brownie batter on top, then spoon drop the rest of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie mix again.
- Use the blade of a knife to gently swirl the brownie batter and cream cheese filling together.
- Bake until the edges of the brownies have puffed up slightly, and center not quite firm when touched lightly.
- Use a toothpick and insert in the center, so it comes out with moist crumbs - 40 to 45 minutes.
- After the brownies are done, add the other half of the Snickers to the top of the brownies and let cool, cut and serve!
Notes
These will also freeze well too.
You can use a whole egg in cream cheese mixture, but the egg yolk alone doesn't thin out the recipe as much and egg yolks are mainly fat, so they add creaminess and richness making the cheesecake in the brownies very moist.
Recently I updated brownie mix ingredients above - previously I had what my brownie mix calls for in the ingredients list and I took them out so there is no confusion and to clarify to prepare brownies as called out on your box instructions.

Mmmm brownies plus Kahlua?!! I looooove Kahlua. And then Snickers too? Dang girl! Count me in!!
ChocolaTess says
Hi! Yes, 1/4 cup Kahlua is added to the brownie mixture and 2 Tablespoons is added to the Cheesecake mixture. I updated the instructions to clarify it better. Hope that helps you out! I was probably eating too many brownies...or something when I was writing these instructions. LOL! Happy Baking!

The recipe calls for brownie mix and 1/4 cup Kahlua. The directions say prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box. Is the 1/4 cup Kahlua added to the brownie mixture?

Hey Cherrie - I emailed you, but just in case something went haywire, 1 8 oz. bag of snickers for the entire batch of brownies. 🙂
You can divide them up as in recipe or put them all on top, either way, you'll still get all those snicker bites 🙂
Cherrie says
question: Your photo shows a bag of Snickers Bites, the instructions just says "snickers, quartered". Do you use the entire bag of snickers bites? I'm heading to the store tomorrow to get the ingredients. Hubby sort of turned up his nose at the idea...so I GUESS, I'll have to eat them all myself. Somebody's got to do it!
