4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until top is slightly browned. Allow to cool; spread with frosting and cut into bars. 

Chocolate Frosting

1 stick butter, softened

1/4 c. milk

1-2 tsp. vanilla

3 tbsp. cocoa

2-3 c. powdered sugar

I saw these a really long time ago and wanted to make them right away! But since they had so many ingredients, I kept putting it off. Something went wrong with the brownie/cheesecake layer... when I took them out of the oven it was all lumpy and weird looking. But looks aren't everything! They were amazingly delicious! Three words to describe them... classic gone crazy! :)

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate

 now and then doesn't hurt!
