You’ve seen it at the grocery store, so what exactly is it? You know the crusty corners of your traditional brownie pan? The ones that everyone fights over?

Brownie Brittle ™ is an entire bag of nothing but velvety, crispy brownie batter. *HEAVEN* Ready to try a bag? Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see how YOU can win a Sampler Pack!

Since trying it, I crave it. A handful at night fulfills my chocolate craving without having to bake. I then started to think about what else I could do with Brownie Brittle ™ tasty treats.

I started by crumbling it over my vanilla frozen yogurt, then dipping it into a peanut butter dessert dip and then the magic happened… pie crust!

It really built itself from there. My favorite candy is actually Bacon Candy, so I wanted to pair it with a creamy and decadent dessert, cheesecake! Maple cheesecake!

I used Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle ™- which satisfies my intense needs for salty and sweet, but Brownie Brittle ™ comes in a variety of flavors: Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel, Mint Chocolate Chip and Toffee Crunch.

Need one more reason to try Brownie Brittle ™? They only have 120 calories per serving… so you can snack without the guilt.

Ingredients

Crust

16 ounces Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle ™ ground into crumbs in food processor
1/2 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon sugar
Cooking spray

Cheesecake

16 ounces 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup maple syrup plus extra for drizzling
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 large eggs room temperature
Candied bacon chopped (see Savory Experiments for the recipe)

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, mix Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle ™ crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar and melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are moistened. Coat 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Press Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle ™ into the bottom of the pan, pressing down hard with the back of a spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Beat cream cheese in large bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment until smooth, at least 2-3 minutes. Add dark brown sugar, flour, and salt, continue to blend until combined. Add 1 cup maple syrup, sour cream and vanilla, continue to blend. Add eggs and blend until fully combined and smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes, be patient!
Pour cream cheese mixture over Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle ™ crust. Tap on your countertop for at least 1 minute to pull out any tiny air bubbles.
Place springform pan into a high rimmed baking sheet or the bottom of a broiler pan. Fill containing pan 1/2 way with water. Cooking in a water bath will keep your cheesecake smooth, allow to bake flat and prevent cracking.
Bake cheesecake for 80-90 minutes, or until the center has set and edges are a light brown. If edges start to brown before enter is set (not jiggly), loosely cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Remove and allow to fully cool. While still in springform pan, refrigerate for a minimum of 12 hours, but preferably overnight.
Carefully remove from springform pan to serving dish. Before serving, drizzle with additional maple syrup and top with chopped Candied Bacon. Enjoy!
