It’s that time of year when pumpkin appears on our menu…from pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread and even pasta. Last year I shared one of my most favorite recipes that I got from a friend, tweaked, changed and then shared on my monthly Vue magazine recipes…Pumpkin Cream Cheese Brownies.

The mixture of pumpkin, cream cheese and brownies is divine.

So, pumpkin cream cheese brownies are shared here today.

Do any of those ingredients draw you into fall? Speak your love language? Provide joy? Then welcome.

Because so many of those who have their feet under my table have nut allergies or don’t prefer them, I often leave them out…but, being a pecan lover? If nuts are favorite additions to your recipes, please add them in.

These brownies are perfect for those fall bake sales, football tailgating, and even a new Thanksgiving dessert.

I love these served with a great sweet potato chili

bowl of chili made with homemade canned tomato juice

and a fall charcuterie tray to round out the gathering menu.

A little comfort food, a great appetizer and then finish with those decadent pumpkin cream cheese brownies.

Yes! Now to plan another gathering with all of those…would you want to join me?

Here’s the recipe…
