Fudgy Biscoff Swirl Brownies

Hold me back! These heavenly morsels were sitting there tempting me to eat every last one and they didn't last long at my house. I found this recipe at Taste and Tell, a blog with tons of wonderful recipes. I'm already planning on buying more Biscoff just for this. 



Fudgy Biscoff Swirl Brownies

1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 c. chocolate chips 
1/2 c. butter
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. salt
1 c. flour
1/2 to 1 c. Creamy Biscoff Spread

Preheat the oven to 325ยบ. Line a 9×13” baking dish with foil or parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Place both sugars in the bowl of a mixer. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and the butter together. Once melted and well mixed, pour the melted chocolate mixture in with the sugars. Mix on low to combine, then add the eggs, vanilla and salt and mix.

Add 1/2 cup of the flour, then mix to combine. Add the remaining flour and mix just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Melt the Biscoff spread in a microwave safe bowl for 15-30 seconds. Pour the spread over the brownie batter in 3 long strips lengthwise. Use a knife to swirl the spread, dragging it the opposite direction.

Bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Rolo Cheesecake Bars

Chocolate, caramel and cheesecake! These are easy to make, but still impressive. I couldn't find mini Rolos, so I just bought regular ones and cut them in half. I also topped the pieces with a half of one. I found this recipe at Hugs & Cookies.

Rolo Cheesecake Bars

Crust:
3 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter, melted

Filling:
2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
¼ c. flour
8 oz. Rolo minis, unwrapped

Glaze:
1/2 c. butter
6 oz. chocolate chips
4 t. light corn syrup
Preheat oven to 350°. Stir all crust ingredients together and press into a 9x13-inch pan lined with nonstick foil. 
Bake for 7-10 minutes and cool. 
For filling, beat cream cheese. Once smooth, add sugar and mix. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour and mix until smooth. Stir in Rolos. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Place in refrigerator to chill.
For the glaze, melt butter and chocolate chips.Stir in corn syrup. Pour over chilled bars and refrigerate overnight.
