Had to try Traci's recipe from the Comfort Food thread a couple of days ago. Awesome!

I had to improvise a little. Found it hard to believe this close to Thanksgiving that Publix didn't have a pumpkin bread mix, but I used a gingerbread mix and added pumpkin pie seasoning to it. It was delicious! Hot out of the oven with the pumpkin pie ice cream - yummy!

Have to say, I ate almost all of it myself.

    mmmmm....
    Can I have some? I love pumpkin! I was just telling my honey that I want to bake and just try everything. Now I want something sweet and don't have anything in my kitchen. Glad you tried this recipe and that you enjoyed it. :)

    Bears repeating...mmmmmm.....thanks, Traci!
    Pumpkin. Swirl. Brownies.

    These are the latest obsession at our house. You buy Trader Joe's's Truffle Brownie Mix and Pumpkin Bread Mix, mix them up in separate bowls, then swirl them together in a 9x13 pan and bake them. Then serve them with TJ's Pumpkin Ice Cream. (Don't leave out the ice cream -- it tastes like frozen pumpkin pie!)

    I mean, SERIOUSLY good, like everyone in my house fights over them, and we now have FIVE boxes of each mix in our pantry!

    The directions/recipe are on Trader Joe's's website: http://www.traderjoes.com/recipes/recipe.asp?rid=91

    You're welcome! :-)

    Love your improvisation, Debi!
    Debi, what a great idea trying gingerbread mix instead -- sounds delicious!

    I'm a good cook and baker -- but ONLY as long as I can follow a recipe. I can't improvise/substitute in the kitchen to save my life -- if it had been me, I would probably just have sat down in the middle of the baking aisle at the grocery store and cried! (okay, not really -- but definitely a few sniffles!)

    I actually have a pan of these pumpkin swirl brownies in the oven as we speak....I mentioned on another thread that some friends of ours, an elderly couple, just moved into a new place this weekend, and we're taking a homecooked dinner to them tonight. I've got black bean-mushroom chili in the Crock-Pot, and pumpkin swirl brownies in the oven. But, sadly, every Trader Joe's in our neighborhood is sold out of the pumpkin ice cream....okay ladies, 'fess up -- which one of you bought it all up?

    That's exactly what our friends said, Cousin Natly
    They loved the brownies, too -- even with just regular ol' vanilla ice cream -- and are now planning to make them for their family Thanksgiving!
