Caramel Brownie Cheesecake

---

This is the richest dessert i have ever eaten. You truly can eat just a half a slice. My great grandmother, who is 90 years old, told me this year that this was the best dessert she has ever had in her life....and she doesn't like cheesecake. Jeremy loves this even more than ice cream cake!!
