Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Make Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
3. Prepare Cheesecake Layer: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla. Beat until well incorporated.
4. Layer and Swirl: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared dish. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture on top. Use a knife to swirl the two layers together.
5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely before slicing.
6. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice into squares and savor the irresistible blend of chocolate, peanut butter, and cheesecake in every bite!
