Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

    I must be the definition of basic because I am obsessed with all things pumpkin spice! I've decided to dedicate the month of November to all things pumpkin! My first glorious recipe in my pumpkin-a-thon is a brownie recipe with luxurious swirls of pumpkin cheesecake. I loved them! They were very rich and moist. Oh, and they are super easy to make!

Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

Ingredients:

- 1 family sized brownie mix (and ingredients to make)

                    or your favorite 9x13 brownie recipe

- 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened

- 1 cup of pumpkin puree

- 2 eggs

- 1/3 cup of sugar

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare the brownie mix according to directions and pour the batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Pour the pumpkin mix on top of the brownie batter already in the baking dish and swirl the batters together. Bake for about 40- 45 minutes or until no longer jiggly and the top is starting to brown.
