Pumpkin Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting

I love Thanksgiving..Family, Friends, Food and no presents to worry about! The perfect holiday. Plus it showcases one of my favorite flavors, pumpkin. I love a good pumpkin pie but also love to experiment with other ways to serve this up. In preparing for Thanksgiving this year I decided to try this recipe that is in an old church cookbook. I think it is one of the best places to get recipes because it is a collection of every one's favorite and you know that they have been tested and tried so no surprises. At first I was a little nervous when the pan came out of the oven. I was expecting cake like brownies and instead got something that resembled more like fudge but the combination taste of the pumpkin and cream cheese is to die for. This dish is being divided for upcoming Thanksgiving, the dessert for a get together tonight and I may bring some to staff at work. That is if I can stop eating them myself : ) Enjoy!
