Ingredients

Brownie
  • 18 oz Ghirardelli brownie mix (or similar)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup semisweet chopped chocolate or chips
  • 14 oz semisweet chocolate ** For the skulls
  • Edible gold dust ** For the skulls
  • Skeleton mold + Gold dust:https://liketk.it/5mJAH
Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl
  • 1 full 8 oz block cream cheese softened
  • ¾ can (about 11 oz) pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 5 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (or according to box mix). Grease a 10” cast iron skillet.
  2. Make brownie batter: Prepare the brownie mix with water, oil, and egg as directed. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Make pumpkin swirl: In a bowl, beat pumpkin purée, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin spice until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble skillet: Spread about ⅔ of the brownie batter into the skillet. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over top, then cover with remaining brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the layers together or leave as is.
  5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (a little gooey is good!).
  6. Cool slightly before slicing — or serve warm with ice cream.
