Pumpkin Brownies With pecans and creamy vanilla frosting are my favorite fall treat. Moist brownie, crunchy nuts and a smear of frosting. A great treat for pumpkin fans!

PRIZE#3 TORANI
We believe in flavor for all and opportunity for all. In the beginning, Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre visited family in Lucca, Italy. They returned home to San Francisco with handwritten recipes, which they used to create authentic flavored syrups. Needless to say, the syrups we’re a hit. A lot has happened since then, but our belief has remained the same: Flavor for All, Opportunity for All. It means that not only are the products we make inclusive and approachable, but so is our success. We believe everything starts with people, and the only way to truly succeed is to succeed together. Today, you can use more than 100 of our naturally flavored syrups, sauces and beverage bases in coffees, sodas, teas, smoothies, cocktails and more.
PRIZE#4 CABOT CREAMERY CO-OPERATIVE
Cabot is giving one winner a gift box of assorted Cabot cheeses.
The farm families that own Cabot Creamery Co-operative love what they do. And they’ve been doing it for a long time—every single day since 1919. Almost 100 years later, we’re proud of our thriving farms, strong communities, and happy, healthy cows that produce the rich, buttery milk that we use to make Cabot’s award-winning cheese and dairy products. We like to think those awards mean we’re doing something right. Of course, you’re a big part of this too. If you love eating our cheese as much as we love making it, then we’ll get to keep doing what we do for generations to come.

Special thanks to Dixie Crystals as today’s sponsor. I used both there brown sugar and powdered sugar to create these Pumpkin Brownies!
Pumpkin Brownies pack, snack and attack hunger in a big way! I love the way pumpkin makes these brownies moist without being gummy or greasy. A bit of frosting adds a touch of sweetness. The brownies will stay fresh for several days in the fridge. If they last that long!
