    Pumpkin Oreo Brownies

    These brownies are fudgy, moist, sweet, chocolatey, and…. (wait for it)… better for you!

    One of my most favorite desserts was my Grandma’s pumpkin pie. I loved it. She also made homemade whipped cream to go on that fall dessert. 

    Sadly, those opportunities are over now. 

    Don’t get me wrong, some store-bought desserts for fall like pumpkin pie, apple pie, autumn type cakes, and crisps are awesome. But there’s just something about a fall dessert that when homemade, bring the whole meaning of DELICIOUS COMFORT FOOD to a whole new level!

    What are your favorite desserts for fall? Do you have any awesome old fall favorite desserts that were handed down from relatives? Let me know, I’d love to hear about them!
