Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, follow the box directions to prepare the brownie layer. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  3. While the brownie layer bakes, mix the cheesecake layer by combining softened cream cheese, the egg, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and sour cream. Blend until smooth.
  4. After the brownie layer is baked, pour the cheesecake mixture over the hot brownie layer and spread evenly. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.
  5. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. For the ganache, melt the heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl until smooth. Fold in crushed Oreos.
  7. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake layer and let it set for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  8. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
