Pumpkin Brownies

The delicious flavor of pumpkin combined with chocolate in rich, chewy, fudgy brownies?  That’s what these amazing pumpkin brownies are all about!

It’s on.  Pumpkin season that is.  I’m ready for it. I mean come on, it’s vegetable dessert, so it’s practically health food!  Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but I won’t question it if you don’t. Pumpkin brownies anyone?

This simple, from scratch pumpkin brownie recipe comes together easily.  We are talking maybe five more minutes than it would take to make a box mix, and that’s if you are moving really slow.  Like my early morning slow.  Which is pretty darn slow. 🙂 So basically what I’m saying is that these are just as easy as making brownies from a box, but so much better.
