PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES: Autumn Brownies

Libby's Pumpkin Ad, November 14, 1949
Autumn for me is always all about pumpkins. Add chocolate and I'm there! 

Here's an easy recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies adapted from a recipe from Libby's Pumpkin. My mother's name was Libby, so I always love using Libby Pumpkin in recipes. "Libby, Libby, Libby, on the Label, Label, Label." You can always substitute 'real' pumpkin puree that you make yourself. 

FYI: These brownies are more cakelike than chewy. With that in mind, enjoy!

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
