Brownie Delight
"This is my husband's absolute favorite dessert! These brownies are topped with 3 fluffy layers of cheesecake, pudding and cool whip, and it goes together quicker than most. This will fill a 9x13 pan to the top, but that size pan makes good thick layers so I use it anyway. The recipe is adapted from TOH Quick Cooking."

This was very good. I made this for a work birthday and everyone loved it. I added some mini chocolate chips to the top. Thanks! -
I made this desert last night for a dinner party and it is EXCELLENT! I received tons of compliments and everyone wanted the recipe! I modified the recipe by adding chocolate chips to the brownie mixture. I also added the chocolate chips on the top layer of whipped cream. I definitely recommend this recipe - it is delicious! -
My girlfriend loved these! They were easy to make and didn't take too long. I used cinnamon flavored confectioners' sugar and the cheesecake tasted wonderful! -
This dessert is extremely good. Very rich. As I was too lazy to make everything from scratch, I used a brownie mix and canned of pudding. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
