Used a box of gluten free brownies from Aldi and made sure they were about done after the initial baking, plus used dairy free cream cheese.

I often send one to work with him, too. Someone else has said it already, but the recipe that came in my magazine did call for two ounces of melted semi-sweet chocolate, in addition to the unsweetened chocolate. For anyone having problems with raw brownie, make sure you are using enough for ONLY an 8\" pan. Most mixes provide enough batter for a 9?13 pan. If you still have trouble, try baking without a baking sheet underneath. I have never used one, it always comes out delicious! I also like to fill a Ziploc with the filling, pipe it around the edges, pour in the caramel, then pipe the remaining filling over.

I haven't made it but had to rate it in order to post. I was wondering, has anyone tried this without using the chocolate? I am not a huge chocolate fan, and thought that omitting the chocolate and adding a bit of vanilla extract to the creamcheese mixture would make it less rich (which is what I like). I would drizzle some chocolate fudge over the top and sprinkle toasted chopped pecans over that.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-05-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenBottleOpener"},"reviewBody":"This is the worst recipe you have ever put out. 20 minutes is NOT ENOUGH TIME TO BAKE THE BROWNIE.

It is virtually easier to make your own caramel which is seriously a piece of cake, even if you've never made it. Its just sugar, butter and cream and super simple. I would rather make it then unwrap all those packs and wonder whether I'm buying the right ones! Google for a recipe.

She chose this recipe. I wanted to make two cheesecakes and only had one 18.4 oz brownie mix. The boxed brownies had cooking instructions for both 8x8 size and 11x7 size pans so I divided it into two springform pans. The brownie layer isn't quite as thick as pictured but it was still quite tasty and no one felt lacking in the brownie department. I did read the other reviews and kept the caramel layer away from the edges of the pan. I also saved a heaping T of the melted caramel and swirled it on top. It was easy to serve and came out of the pan beautifully. This cake was a huge hit. Everyone got wide eyed when taking their first bite then it was silent for a bit around the table. You know you have a successful dish when everyone is eating and no one is talking. I will definitely be making this many more times.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-09-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldScooter"},"reviewBody":"well I made this today have not tasted yet looks good but tried to take off pan bottom and caramel started to run out,but it looks delicious and my hubby likes choc and so do my grandkids so I'm sure it will get eaten up in a flash!!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-03-30","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Cyan8Ball"},"reviewBody":"It tastes amazing, but it is a mess.

I've been making this cheesecake for about 17 years, at least once a year for my husband's birthday. I often send one to work with him, too. Someone else has said it already, but the recipe that came in my magazine did call for two ounces of melted semi-sweet chocolate, in addition to the unsweetened chocolate. For anyone having problems with raw brownie, make sure you are using enough for ONLY an 8\" pan. Most mixes provide enough batter for a 9?13 pan. If you still have trouble, try baking without a baking sheet underneath. I have never used one, it always comes out delicious! I also like to fill a Ziploc with the filling, pipe it around the edges, pour in the caramel, then pipe the remaining filling over. This helps keep the pan cleaner and prevents caramel from dripping out so much.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"12\/07\/2016 15:57","GUID":"6d2450c6dcc545c188c31a6a7903d941","MemberId":8981698,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Michelle","SubmittedDate":"12\/07\/2016 15:57"},{"Comment":"

This looks quite decadent! I haven't made it but had to rate it in order to post. I was wondering, has anyone tried this without using the chocolate? I am not a huge chocolate fan, and thought that omitting the chocolate and adding a bit of vanilla extract to the creamcheese mixture would make it less rich (which is what I like).

I already posted my review but after I did this I noted an ingredient listed in the ToH cookbook I used is not listed in this posting. In addition to the unsweetened chocolate the recipe in the book has 2 ounces of melted and cooled semi sweet chocolate as well. When I made it I used both chocolates.

For my oldest granddaughter's birthday I let her choose what she wanted for her birthday cake. She chose this recipe. I wanted to make two cheesecakes and only had one 18.4 oz brownie mix. The boxed brownies had cooking instructions for both 8x8 size and 11x7 size pans so I divided it into two springform pans. The brownie layer isn't quite as thick as pictured but it was still quite tasty and no one felt lacking in the brownie department. I did read the other reviews and kept the caramel layer away from the edges of the pan. I also saved a heaping T of the melted caramel and swirled it on top. It was easy to serve and came out of the pan beautifully. This cake was a huge hit. Everyone got wide eyed when taking their first bite then it was silent for a bit around the table. You know you have a successful dish when everyone is eating and no one is talking. I will definitely be making this many more times.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"08\/18\/2013 14:35","GUID":"665D46F135274B1BB9ED11D0FFDDD26C","MemberId":702841,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ebramkamp","SubmittedDate":"08\/18\/2013 14:35"},{"Comment":"
This is one of our favorite cheesecakes. Be sure to lightly spray the springform pan so the brownie layer doesn't stick to the bottom. For the caramels, use Kraft or Brach's - the kind you unwrap in individual squares. DO NOT spread the caramel all the way to the edge of the cheesecake -- be sure to leave about an inch at least between the caramel and the edge of the pan otherwise the caramel will bake and stick to the sides of the pan and will become very hard.

I made this when I first saw it in the mag. AMAZING! I made my own brownie base. And for those unsure of what caramels to buy--honestly, unwrapping those seperate packages is so time consuming. It is virtually easier to make your own caramel which is seriously a piece of cake, even if you've never made it. Its just sugar, butter and cream and super simple. I would rather make it then unwrap all those packs and wonder whether I'm buying the right ones! Google for a recipe. There are tons.<\/p>
