Pumpkin Spice-Cake Mix Brownies

Pumpkin Spice-Cake Mix Brownies

Ahhh….the flavors of fall and the falling leaves…..

that is what these brownies are all about.

Imagine running through the cool crisp colorful leaves in some remote Vermont town.

Why Vermont?

Well these brownies are topped with Maple Frosting and….

Maple reminds me of Vermont… you know from all the cartoons from way back when they would show the drilling of the trees to get the syrup.

With the colorful fall sprinkles on top of these, the only other thought than how many of these will I share and how many will I be keeping for myself.

Thea batter is thick, spread it as evenly as possible in the pan so the brownies will bake as smooth as possible.
