Pumpkin Swirl Brownies by Foodtastic Mom

I’m in full Halloween mode at this point but these brownies were actually for Bengals tailgating last Sunday. Orange and black stripes you know! But still festive for Halloween if you aren’t into football or the Benglas.

I’d been hinting to my husband that I wanted to see a Bengals game in person for my birthday gift and he delivered! We arrived to Lot 1 at about 9:30 am with some friends and had a blast. I’ve never seen so many re-habbed buses and ambulances painted to look like our favorite NFL team.

And boy did we see a great game! The Bengals were trailing the Seahawks by 17 points and they managed to come back to win it in overtime. The stadium was LOUD and the atmosphere electric. After years of being known as “The Bungles” it’s a welcome change for sure.

As for these brownies, I took one of my most popular brownie recipes and re-made it for the month of October. Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies appropriate in the summer for Reds (baseball) games have now become Pumpkin Swirl Brownies that are super moist with the perfect amount of pumpkin to chocolate ratio. Whether you are hosting football fans or trick-or-treaters you’re going to love these festive brownies.
