# Ingredients:

→ Brownie Batter

01 - 1 package chocolate brownie mix (Betty Crocker or any preferred brand)
02 - 3 tablespoons water
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1/2 cup chocolate chip morsels (optional)

→ Pumpkin Cheesecake

06 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
07 - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
08 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
09 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325℉ and line a 9x9 baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice, mixing until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, oil, eggs, and water until a thick and gooey batter forms. Stir in chocolate chip morsels if desired.
