Brownies, cheesecake, and chopped cookie dough bar pieces? Yes, please, thanks. I will take two for now. Oh wait, these are healthy???? In that case, gimme four of those cookie dough cheesecake brownies please!!!
Yup, you heard that right! These are whole grain Kodiak brownies, high protein cheesecake (AKA ‘pro cheesecake’), and I could have stuck with plain chocolate chips (which are always delicious of course), BUT I added this instead…
chopped up bits of Detour ‘Simple‘ Salted Caramel Cookie Dough Bar!
I mean why not right? It’s like using plain chocolate chips, but they’re kinda on steroids. You get the chocolatey goodness of course, but also get the added nutritional benefits of the whey protein, lower sugar, extra fiber, vitamins, AND chewy caramel bits! Sure chocolate chips would work perfectly fine, but this just elevates the entire experience a bit 🙂 You don’t need a lot of the chopped Detour bars, a few small chunks go a long way so sprinkling a few on top will do!
I absolutely LOVE the different textures all in one neat little bite. A small base layer of rich & decadent chocolate brownies surrounding sweet & creamy cheesecake, and then of course I have to make sure each bite gets one of those cookie dough bar pieces. It truly is heaven in a neat little cupcake form!
