Peanut butter + Cheesecake + Brownie = disappeared
I baked these, took photos, and turned my back for one day and the next time I went looking for these, they were gone. Clearly putting three of Mike’s favorite things into one portable snack was a bad idea.
I at least got a couple bites.
Maybe next time I should try a peanut butter cheesecake with brownie bites. I think then that may be a little too rich to disappear over night.
