Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

So this weekend was the Superbowl and my favorite team not only played in it, but won. GO PATS! I made these brownies for a Superbowl party and I made them red velvet because of the Patriots. (I have to root on my team even in my baking right?) These brownies are rich and creamy and the perfect dessert to bring to a party. This recipe is also straightforward and is not that time consuming, perfect for busy schedules.
