Pretty good. I would add some sliced black olives.

Brownies (no cocoa powder and thicker batter), no; chewy, YES! A great recipe; make a double batch! I added 2/3 c. semi-sweet morsels, which made them much more like PB chocolate chip cookies in bar form. I took them out at (and they were PERFECT at) 25 min (the edges were browning and a knife came out clean in the center); the full 35 min would probably have dried them out. After cooling completely, they cut very cleanly.

Verbatim except for omitting the sugar, this was just your average very mild chili; the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice were almost undetectable. Too much tweaking is necessary to yield a chili worthy of having the word pumpkin in the name (so I suggest looking for another recipe if you seek a chili with ever moderate pumpkin flavor); however, this is a decent recipe (omitting the pumpkin pie spice and again, the sugar) if you are looking for a way to sneak in vitamins... although if this were the case you probably would also instead look for another recipe not quite so heavy on the ground meat and heavier on the vegetables and beans. But as for this recipe, you should, at the very least, double the amount of pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and chili powder.
