Kahlua. Cheesecake. Snickers. Brownies. Nah…I’m not name-dropping, nope…not me! I would never!
Ok…I’m totally name-dropping here…
Kahlua —–> Kahlúa is a coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur from Mexico. {contains sugar, corn syrup and vanilla bean}
Kahlúa is used to make cocktails and used in desserts like Cheesecake —–> Cheesecake is a rich dessert dish made with cheese, usually cream cheese, although cottage cheese, ricotta, mascarpone cheese or even sour cream may be used, depending on the recipe.
Sometimes cheesecake, it’s topped with fruit or Snickers —–> Snickers consists of nougat topped with caramel and peanuts, drenched in milk chocolate. One of the most loved candy bars in the world!
Snickers are awesome in cookies and Brownies —–> Brownies are rich and moist chocolate, fudgy bars that are totally sinful and addictive!
Put all 4 of these ‘rock star headliners’ together and you get the most outrageous, delectable 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 did manage to get my greedy share, but I had to restrain myself literally.
I know the damage I can do when it comes to just brownies alone, it isn’t pretty. 🙁
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!

- 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.
I love that you have a printable version! That makes life so much easier. Looking forward to trying these!
Enjoy!!
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!
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 🙂
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?
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!
