This was very easy to make and baked up great with no cracking. The kids liked it and they ate it all. While I like brownies and I like pumpkin cheesecake, I don't think the flavors really work together. I am glad I tried this, but I think this would be better with a plain or vanilla cheesecake top layer instead of the pumpkin.

I am very eager to try new recipes, and that's why I am here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />Visit my shop by clicking the provided link to access a variety of Dominican products!</p>
