    Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Brownies with Pumpkin Spice M&Ms is a delicious combination of pumpkin cheesecake and fudgy brownies mixed together with a fun M & M surprise.

    I was in Target yesterday and found these Pumpkin Spice M&Ms. First I thought I would make cookies, then I decided on brownies. I looked in the pantry and found some pumpkin puree (which you should always have an extra can on hand) and decided on Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Brownies with Pumpkin Spice M&Ms. 

    My Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies were so good, I thought these would be great since it is getting close to pumpkin season.

    Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Brownies

    I love anything pumpkin, ask my hubby, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin smoothies, and pumpkin creme brulee to mention a few things.

    These brownies are very moist and more like a cheesecake bite with some brownie added, you can leave out the M&Ms, but why not add the extra goodness of chocolate,  crunch, and a little more spice. You could always substitute regular M & M’s if they are not in season.

    Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Brownie Batter

    After brownies are baked you can take the foil out of the pan and cool or refrigerate for a few hours and then slice into 16 pieces.

    Brownie Tips

    These Brownies can be frozen. It’s best to cut the brownies when fresh and store in individual baggies. That way you can take out one at a time and thaw as a snack. My favorite pan is the 9 X 9 pan. If you can’t find the Pumpkin Spice M & M’s substitute another flavor.
