Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie Mix plus ingredients called for on the box
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate melts
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
  • 2 Tablespoons orange sprinkles if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9” x 9” casserole dish and set aside.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to box directions. Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, white sugar, pumpkin puree and egg until completely combined.
  • Stir in the flour, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Spoon the pumpkin mixture onto the brownie batter and then use a spoon or spatula to swirl the two together.
  • Bake according to package directions, until the brownies pull away from the sides of the baking dish and an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Allow the brownies to cool before covering in chocolate or frosting.
  • Melt the chocolate by heating in the microwave in 25-second bursts, stirring well in between each reheating. Stir in the coconut oil to make the chocolate smoother and easier to cut later.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the brownies and smooth down with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
  • Sprinkle the orange sprinkles over the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set completely before cutting.
