0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
8 oz cream cheese
0.25 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.33 cup salted caramel sauce
0.33 cup melted dark or semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a mini muffin pan with liners or spray with non-stick spray.
2. Melt butter and combine with granulated sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in egg and vanilla, then fold in flour.
3. Scoop 1 tablespoon brownie batter into each of 24 mini muffin cups. Press gently to form base.
4. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract; beat until creamy.
5. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling over each brownie base.

7. Drizzle caramel and melted chocolate over each bite. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for a creamier texture.
Allow bites to chill fully before drizzling with toppings.
Store undecorated bites in the freezer for up to 2 months.
