1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get that delicious aroma ready to fill your kitchen!

2. Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure it’s all set for the brownie bliss.

3. Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions, then pour half of that fudgy goodness into the prepared pan.

4. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until it’s smooth and creamy—just like you’d dream it to be!

5. Carefully spread that luscious cheesecake layer evenly over the brownie batter in the pan.

6. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer—let it flow like a sweet river—and sprinkle with those chopped Milky Way bars for extra decadence.

7. Top it off with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it out evenly like a warm, chocolaty blanket.

8. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top for that ultimate finishing touch.

9. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the brownies are set but still delightfully gooey in the center.

10. Once done, allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into glorious squares.

Enjoy your heavenly Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies!
