Ingredients
Scale

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Caramel Layer: 4 to 5 fun-size Milky Way bars, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth to create the cheesecake filling.
- Gently spread the cheesecake filling over the brownie base.
