Happy Halloween!! Who wants brownies?!



Hello all,

In the great spirit of Halloween, I thought I'd make a super easy treat to bring in for my office mates. I really like Halloween, whatever it may be that you associate it. If your thing is scary movies, you have your fill playing 24 hours a day. If you like dressing like a monster, or slutty fill-in-the-blank, or any excuse to wear face paint, you have your perfect day. If you are a secret hoarder of mini candy bars, get ready to unabashedly indulge your sugar rush.

I like all of the above. Well, that's almost true. I actually get way too scared when watching horror flicks and abhor face paint, but I do love zombie flicks, Rocky Horror, and chocolate :)

Back to the recipe then. You can decide how far you want to take this. It can either be a semi-homemade treat that takes no longer than 45 mins to an hour to complete prep to cool, or a fully from scratch ordeal. Whatever you choose, it's a sure crowd-pleaser. Are you ready witches and warlocks?

Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies


Ingredients:
GF Brownie Mix or GF Brownie Recipe
8 oz light cream cheese
3/4 cup organic pumpkin
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg or egg sub
splash of vanilla

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease an 8x8 square pan.
Prepare GF Brownie Mix or GF Brownie Recipe following directions, and pour into pan.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, egg and vanilla with a mixer until well blended.
Pour cheesecake mixture over brownie batter.
Cook for 30-50 minutes (depending on your oven.)
Cool and try not to eat them all at once okay?

Love the orange and black goodies and so will your allergic/non-allergic counterparts. Have a Happy Halloween and stay safe folks!
