A little warning before we get started here – these fudgy cheesecake brownies are highly addictive. With my first attempt at these, I tried to make them into cupcakes. They didn’t turn out at all and ended up an overflowed mess in the muffin tin. Did I still eat them? You bet I did! You know the best part of baking flops? You don’t have to share them. Oh darn, these delicious fudgy cheesecake brownie cupcakes didn’t turn out so I guess I’ll just toss them out…or secretly I’ll hide them in my belly! After I got over the tummy ache of eating a pan full of overflowed cupcakes, I then tried them in a cake pan and they were perfect.
