Graham Cracker Crust Honey Bun Cheesecake Brownies

Ingredients:

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Honey Bun Layer:

1 box yellow cake mix

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Layer:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tbsp milk

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the other layers.

2. Prepare the Honey Bun Layer:

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, milk, honey, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.

Pour the honey bun mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the honey bun layer, spreading it out evenly.

4. Bake the Brownies:

Bake the entire dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before glazing.

5. Add the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled brownies.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
