Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

Oh my gosh…these pumpkin brownie bars were so good. If you need an easy dessert to bring for Thanksgiving, here’s something you can whip up quickly.

What You Need

• Boxed brownie mix that you love
• 1/2 can pumpkin (not pie filling)
• 6 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

What You Do

1. Preheat oven to directions on brownie box.
2. Mix brownies according to package directions.
3. Add chocolate chips to mix and stir well. Set brownie batter aside.
4. With a mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice until
   smooth.
5. Grease and lightly flour your baking dish. Pour a evenly spread half of the brownie mix in the
   pan.
6. Smooth the entire pumpkin mix over top brownie batter as best you can.
7. Cover pumpkin layer with remainder of brownie batter.
8. Bake according to package directions. I added 10 minutes to mine. But be sure to check on
   them during the cooking process. As long as toothpick comes out, clean you’re good.
9. Let cool. And serve. I found these to be a little fudgy and good to keep cold until you’re ready to serve.

Such a yummy Thanksgiving-y treat!
