Pumpkin Recipes

These brownies aren't just moist and filled with goodness they are so easy even the kids can make them!  What a better made memory during the oncoming rush of the holiday season than another reason to spend some quailty time with the kds?

Oh, how I love this time of year! I want to get out those cute little leaf shaped iron muffin tins and get to baking! Apples are everywhere, pumpkins are sitting pretty in the patch and holiday recipes are popping up all over!

Here are some simple ones that you can make with your kids:

Pumpkin Brownies

1 box Duncan Hines Brownie Mix (MUST be Duncan Hines)
the other ones taste funny with this recipe.
1 large can of Pumpkin puree

Mix the brownie mix with the puree. (NO eggs, water, etc. Just the two!)
Mix the two ingredients until you get a brownie mix consistency.
Bake at the temperature on the box until "muffins" are finished.
Quick and easy!
