Pour cheesecake batter into Spring-form pan, on top of Brownie crust.  Remove the wrappers from 4 of the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, and cut them in small bite size pieces, and drop them into the cheesecake batter.  Push them under the batter, so the cheesecake will rise as it should.  Add about 1 Tablespoon of the Candy Coated Mini chocolate chips, and gently swirl them into the batter.  Place the Spring-form pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
