PEPPERMINT CHEESECAKE BLACK BOTTOM BROWNIES

Excited to share this incredible recipe from my step-mother-in-law, Julie Pitkin. Julie says, "This recipe is adapted from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book. If you're in a hurry, it works just as well to use an 18-ounce box of Ghirardelli dark chocolate or double chocolate brownie mix as the base layer. Follow the package directions to mix the batter, and pour into the prepared 9 x 13-inch pan as directed below." This is one of the most amazing desserts I have ever tasted - enjoy!
