pumpkin brownies

{recipe wednesday}

I thought this sounded interesting...

I do love brownines and I do love pumpkins.

 Even better, I love simple recipes that use box mixes. 

I always keep a box of brownie mix in the pantry.

 It's fun for the kids to mix up or even just to lick the batter bowl.

{when you need that chocolate fix, ya know what I mean?}

the recipe

1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 egg
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Brownies
1 box Betty Crocker® Premium Brownies Ultimate Fudge
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
