(GRAIN FREE, GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, PALEO)

It’s no secret that chocolate is hands down my favorite food.  I love all the delicious combinations that pair well with chocolate, but pumpkin might be my favorite.  I love how the hearty pumpkin complements the smooth rich chocolate in these brownies.  I used my fudgy paleo brownie recipe and added in the pumpkin swirl; the result is out of this world delicious!
