Slutty Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, also known as Slutty Brownies, are a delicious treat that you are not going to be able to resist. Each bite of this decadent dessert is going to blow you away. So rich, so good, this is a must during the fall season!
Preheat oven to 350 and line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl, add in the brownie mix and any ingredients the back of the box calls for. Turn the mixer on low and mix all of the ingredients together.
Pour the prepared batter into the baking dish.
Then top the brownie batter with a layer of whole Oreos. Reserve 5 to 7 Oreos to use for the topping and then set aside.
In another large mixing bowl or wash the one you used in the first few steps. Beat together the cream cheese until it's nice and creamy. Then add in the pumpkin puree, white granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and Kosher salt. Beat the ingredients together until they are nice and smooth.
Next, add in one egg at a time, making sure to thoroughly incorporate each egg into the mixture before adding the next one.
Then, pour the cheesecake batter over the brownie batter.
Using a knife, chop up about 5-7 Oreo cookies and sprinkle them on top of the cheesecake batter.
Then, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake the cheesecake bars in the oven for about 75 minutes or until the center is set and the sides start to peel away from the parchment paper. Once you reach 75 minutes, check the brownies and if it hasn't set, place them back into the oven and check at 10-minute increments.
When they are done, remove them from the oven, and allow them to come to room temperature. Then place them into the fridge to cool overnight.
The next day, cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
You can use chocolate sandwich cookies in lieu of Oreos. If you use salted butter, do not use salt. If you don't have parchment paper, you can use foil that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or use just the non-stick cooking spray. You can use lite cream cheese. We used regular in this recipe. You don't have to use Halloween Oreos.
