This Cheesecake Brownies story was one of the first to inspire our Share Your Story feature here. I love reading your experiences with our recipes! Why should I keep them to myself?
Jacquelyn originally left part of this story in a comment on my Cheesecake Brownies post. I emailed her to ask if she would mind if I featured her story….wait. Why am I telling the story?? Here’s Jacquelyn:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve been reading Heavenly Homemakers for a couple of years. I’ve tried lots of the recipes. Most of my kitchen regulars come from the website. Recently, we had a church event and I was responsible for taking a dessert. I scrolled through Laura’s list of desserts and happened upon the Cheesecake Brownies. I definitely wanted to try them. I love brownies (especially the corners) and my husband loves cheesecake. Plus, Laura said the recipe needed to be shared. What could be more perfect?
So I whipped up a batch. They looked delicious. They smelled delicious and what I licked off the spoon was delicious. As soon as they cooled, I lined them up on a serving plate and off to church we went.
People started oohing and aahing over the brownies. They wanted the recipe so I told them about Heavenly Homemakers. I didn’t worry that they were eating all the brownies. That’s why I made them. My kids were upset that they weren’t going to get dessert because everyone else was eating the brownies. I reassured them that it would be okay because I had left a couple at home.
The event ended and we headed home. When we got home, I cut up those last brownies. I managed to split the remaining brownies between my three kids and left one in the pan for me. I hurried the kids upstairs to bed. Tucked them in and went downstairs to savor my gooey cheesecake brownie.
I walked in the kitchen to find the pan empty! Just then my husband walked in and one look at him told me everything. He had eaten the last brownie! I didn’t get a single one. Not a single brownie. I was left to eat the crumbs from the pan. And I did.
I just had to share the story with Laura. It was too funny not to share. She asked me if I would make them again and share my story with a picture. So I’ve been looking for a good time to once again make these brownies that everyone else went on about. I finally got the chance this weekend for a family party. I made sure to leave more at home this time, just in case I didn’t eat one at the party. I ate one at the party and then another when we got home. These Cheesecake Brownies really are so very yummy. My husband says that the second batch didn’t turn out as good as the first. I guess I’ll have to try again. ????
