The dark chocolate and the pumpkin flavors are amazing paired together in this Dark Chocolate Brownie Pumpkin Cheesecake.

I bought a sugar pumpkin the other day when I was wandering around my favorite grocery store.  I didn't know what I would do with it but I knew I could come up with something great.  While coming up with my idea, I made the pumpkin puree I would need to make whatever it was.  

I skimmed through all the pumpkin recipes on Pinterest. Well, not all.  There are 10,000,000,000.  I was looking for something that was different than allllll the others.  The pumpkin cheesecakes looked good but there were so many.  I thought on it a while and remembered that Granola Girl used to make a brownie cheesecake.  I never got to taste her cheesecake, but I heard people rave about it.  

In my mind chocolate and pumpkin go hand in hand.  So this would be a great combo!  But of course I couldn't just leave her brownie recipe alone either.  I wanted dark chocolate.  So I landed on Dark Chocolate Brownie Pumpkin Cheesecake.  

And let me tell you IT IS DELICIOUS!  This is one recipe you will not want to share with your kids.  Lucy kiddingly suggested I share it with her and Jamie's MOPS group.  I instantly protested. The only reason I am sharing with Lucy and Jamie is because I cannot eat that much cheesecake alone.  The Hardworking Husband doesn't like dark chocolate, cheesecake or pumpkin.
