Easy Pumpkin Spice Swirled Brownies

DSC02292

I saw these on HoneyB’s blog and knew right away I wanted to make them.  When I checked out the recipe it seemed easy enough but to make them even easier I grabbed a box of brownie mix.  I could lie and tell you that I should have made homemade brownies but that would be a lie! The truth is I thought these were great and can’t imagine homemade making much of a difference.  Either way, homemade or boxed give ‘em a try!

While the kids liked these brownies they were a bigger hit with the adults.  The one thing I really liked about these (besides being ridiculously easy) was that the  pumpkin spice swirl firmed up after the brownies cooled and added some texture to the gooey brownies.  Did I mentioned how easy this was?  Seriously if you use a box mix all you have to do is melt some pumpkin spice Hershey Kisses and swirl it into the brownie batter that you’ve already poured into the pan.  See?  Easy! :)

Another pumpkin post! All the food blogs have done pumpkins-except me.:o( That is going to change, soon, though.

Sometimes me and pumpkin do not get a long. I SO want to like it, but sometimes I don't. However, I think coupled with a brownie I could manage.

There's nothing wrong with taking a short cut here and there, especially when the result is as luscious as these brownies! They look amazing!

Yummy! Adding swirls to brownies is lots of fun and adds great flavor too.

So when I pop by tonight in my Halloween costume, please just slide the whole pan into my trick-or-treat bag, ma'am.
I saw those kisses at the store and wondered what I could do with them. Eureka! Thanks for sharing it. It's getting bookmarked right now.
Happy Halloween!!!

Talk about the perfect brownies for Halloween - yum!

Mimi said...

Ingrid,
Great brownie, so gooey and fudgy. Now that I've seen how good they look, of course I have to make them to taste them. A virtual taste just won't work here.

Christy said...

I saw these on Shelby's blog too and WOW-they looked so yummy! Your's look delicious too and I'm thankful to hear that you used a boxed brownie mix, I wondered if that would change the flavors any-you've answered my question. Thanks. :-) Hope you had a Happy Halloween.

Abby said...

These look fantastic! And sometimes it's nice to have an "adult" dessert. HA.

Lisa said...

OMG, I've seen these on other blogs, but yours look the most mouth watering hands down. I made a pumpkin flan this weekend and ut tuned out beautiful and yummy, but the photos..so bland, flan on white. I'll never learn that pretty background-prop thing. lol

Yum! I love the cross-section of the swirl.
I always feel like pumpkin and chocolate is an underrated flavor combo. It's nice to see it gettin' some love.

Jana said...
