- 1/4 cup chocolate brownie pieces

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan, creating a compact base.
- Blend cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Fold in vanilla extract and sour cream, stirring until the filling is uniform and silky.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set and edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the cooled cheesecake surface.
- Drizzle caramel sauce in a zigzag pattern over the chocolate chips.
- Scatter brownie pieces and chocolate cookie crumbs across the top.
- Finish by adding a final drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Lift the cheesecake out using parchment paper and cut into bars before serving.
Notes
- Chill cream cheese beforehand to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and a more consistent cheesecake texture.
- Line the pan with parchment paper hanging over the edges for effortless removal and clean cutting.
- Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to prevent air bubbles and a potential cracked surface.
