Recipe || Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

And thus I inducted Sam into the cult of loving things with pumpkin in them….

Happy first week of fall everyone! Eating pumpkin isn’t really a big thing in England. Other types of squash, yes. Pumpkin, no. But as we were packing up our kitchen in Stratford, I needed to make one last baked good before most of my gear went into storage till mid-November. It’s already chilly here in England and my local shop was selling tinned pumpkin so, what do you know.

Because we were in the middle of packing and towards the end of our patience ropes I used a boxed brownie mix. However, if you want to make your brownies from scratch I’d recommend the brownie mix for.

Without further ado, our first taste of Autumn for 2013!
