Instructions
To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and coat an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
To Make the Brownie Layer
Whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Add eggs, oil, and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
Reserve 1/3 cup of the brownie batter, then spread the rest into the bottom of your prepared pan.
To Make the Cheesecake Layer
Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer, until smooth.
Divide the cheesecake mixture into 3 bowls. Color one bowl of batter orange, one bowl green, and one bowl purple.
Scoop the different colors of cheesecake on top of the brownie batter in the pan.
Using the brownie batter that you set aside, drop a teaspoon at a time on top of the cheesecake layer and swirl gently with a butter knife.
Top with Halloween sprinkles and bake at 350°F for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
