Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Are you team chocolate or team pumpkin? This is a debate we have often in my home. You? If you come to my house in the fall, you better have your armor on because you are entering a war zone.

When it comes to football, I am a UGA or Tennessee Vols fan, while he is a Wolverine fan through and through. The divide does not stop at football either. It carries over into our taste buds too.

The Best Of Both Worlds

I would rather poke my eye out than to live without chocolate. My husband could care less if he ever ate chocolate again! I am team chocolate and my husband and daughter are team pumpkin.

How do I make peace and wave the proverbial white flag? I make my Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies! We may be on opposing sides when it comes to football. When it comes to our sweet tooth, this recipe gives us the best of both worlds.

Perfectly Balanced Flavors

These Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies are so easy to make. The pumpkin and chocolate flavors are not screaming to compete with each other.

The flavors work super well together, so everyone is happy. They travel well, so they are the perfect tailgating dessert. This dessert goes perfectly with my Slow Cooker Chuck Roast Chili. Yum!!!

Make Plenty To Share

For her robotics team at school, Caitlin always signs me up to bring the dessert! They are meeting this coming weekend and guess what I am bringing?

Of course, I will make two batches so my husband and I can enjoy them as well. So, on the food front, I will raise my white flag, because I this recipe blurs the lines between the two teams. When it comes to football? GAME ON!!

Yum
