How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake Candy Cane Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. **Make the brownie layer:** In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth. Gradually add flour and mix until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. **Make the cheesecake layer:** In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gently pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie layer.
  4. **Add candy canes:** Crush candy canes into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  5. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to firm up completely before serving.
