Recipe View Bake: Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Note: Because these are fudgy brownies, a toothpick inserted into the center will not come out clean. (40 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a plate using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. (60 minutes)

For extra chocolate intensity, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother cheesecake batter.
Do not overbake the brownies! They should be slightly soft in the center to maintain their fudgy texture.
Get creative with your ghost shapes! Use different sized spoons or skewers to create unique designs.
These brownies are best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

    I added a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter for an extra depth of flavor. Delicious!
