This beginner-friendly, homemade Pumpkin Brownies recipe takes the classic brownie to new fall flavor heights. Featuring the rich and nostalgic taste of HERSHEY'S Cocoa paired with a delicious pumpkin swirl through the brownie batter, these moist bites are the perfect fall treat. You can even add HERSHEY'S Chocolate Chips to your Pumpkin Brownies for an extra-rich addition or HERSHEY'S Cinnamon Chips for a pop of fall spice.
