Quick and Easy Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Brownies

Chocolate and pumpkin- a winning combination! These brownies are so easy to make. I used a brownie mix to save time but you could certainly make your favorite brownie mixture from scratch if you have a disdain for packaged brownie mix. Really, any good packaged brownie mix like Ghiradelli or super moist and fudgy Betty Crocker work just fine. Baking times may vary depending on how gooey you like your brownies.

Quick and Easy Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Brownies

1 box of a good brownie mix
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 small tub of whipped cream cheese
1 T sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg)

1. Make the brownie mix as directed on the package.
2. Beat the egg in a bowl. Add the cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, and spice and beat until thoroughly mixed.
3. Grease a square baking pan and spread half the brownie batter on the bottom of the pan.
4. Layer the pumpkin mixture on top. Put remaining brownie mix on top of pumpkin mix. Swirl top with a knife to get a marbled look.
5. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing into squares.
