To be honest, I can’t own this recipe at all — it’s all Martha, all the time. I found it years ago in copy of Martha Stewart Living, and have made it every fall since. This has led to some serious pumpkin hoarding; I did an inventory in October and realized I had almost a dozen cans of pumpkin in the pantry. Remember the pumpkin shortage a few years ago? Me, too. Too well, apparently.

Here’s the recipe for Martha Stewart’s chocolate pumpkin swirl brownies.
