I was looking for something else to do with some left over canned pumpkin I was keeping in the refrigerator, when a friend of mine gave me this Pumpkin Brownies recipe.
Two of my wife's favorite flavors are pumpkin and chocolate. So I figured this would be a really good recipe to surprise her with. They turned out great!
Fortunately, there were some left for her to try by the time she came home from work. Between me and the kids, we finished off most of them. I managed to save two for her.
We will definitely be making these for our Halloween party next week. I just hope I can resist the urge to eat them before the party.
