excellent! moist! and easy! I used 1Tbs less butter...added 3 Tbs whipped cream cheese to pumpkin mix...used pecans instead of walnuts... and didn't "swirl". Baking time took 40 minutes in a 12 muffin tin and the result was just as promised. "if pumpkin pie and brownies had a baby"... Thanks for a GREAT recipe :)

I have made these twice: the first time leaving out chocolate chips and walnuts and the second time adding the chocolate chips. Definitely do not make this recipe unless you have the chocolate chips on hand because they are so much better with them in there! I took these to a "girl's night" of five women, and half of the plate of brownies was gone before I left. Everyone raved about how good they were. I have to say though, they turn out almost more cake like than brownies though, and they are extremely moist. Just be aware of that if you are more of a fan of a crunchier/dryer brownie because these are more like stick to your finger gooey brownies. It's not a brownie I'd make all the time either, but it was something fancy and nice for a fall get together. Overall, these were a hit!

Amazing!! I entered in the fall fair and won first with them. I followed the recipe exactly but layered the batters in mini muffin tins for presentation purposes and did not put walnuts or chocolate chips in. In the muffin tins they only baked for 15-20 minutes. A great recipe!

I altered the recipe slightly - gluten free baking mix instead of AP flour. No walnuts because I didn't have any, although I will probably use next time. I inadvertently cut down the butter (read the recipe wrong and used half a cup) and will keep that amount next time. And I used pumpkin pie spice plus a few grates of fresh nutmeg. It was so good, my boyfriend asked me for a pan of them to take to the chef at his restaurant and maybe they can serve it as a fall special, served hot with vanilla ice cream.

These were good, more like cake. Maybe change the name to Pumpkin and Chocolate Cake.

These things are evil!!! I can feel my pants getting tighter! I used half oil & half butter, because I recently saw on America's Test Kitchens that oil helps to make a chewier brownie. I minimally swirl them, so I get distinct flavors of pumpkin & chocolate. Did I mention these things are evil?! Next time I am going to sprinkle some chocolate chips & nuts on the top. I have to go and eat another one.

These brownies turned out amazing! They are more of a cakey bar than a brownie, but they are delicious! I doubled the recipe and used a 9x13 pan. I just spread all of the chocolate batter on the bottom, then spread all of the pumpkin batter over top and swirled it. Instead of using walnuts in the pumpkin batter, I chopped up white choco chips and added them. Turned out great! Very rich!

Mine turned out more cake like than brownie like- the taste was average- these need some kind of sauce- so prepare to make that- try caramel bourbon or a cream cheese icing

These turned out pretty well. I agree with a previous post, the brownies are a bit greasy, I might cut down the butter. Mine also took much less time than 40 minutes to bake, only about 25 or 30 minutes. They were relatively tasty.
