Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions and pour half into the lined baking pan. Press half of the chopped Oreos into the batter.
  3. Bake for about 20–25 minutes or until the edges are set and the middle is slightly soft. Allow cooling for 10 minutes.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Fold in sour cream until creamy.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie layer and bake for an additional 30–35 minutes until set.
  6. Let the bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Heat chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 3–5 minutes.
  8. Spread the ganache over the chilled cheesecake layer and sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos on top. Chill for an additional 2 hours.
