Fat Witch specializes in brownies, but the pumpkin brownie, Pumpkin Witch, is only available in late fall during pumpkin season. These brownies have a layer of pumpkin cake on top and complement the rich taste of the chocolate. Brownies are generally too sweet for me, but I am a die hard fan of pumpkin-anything and the pumpkin brownies are fabulous. I can hardly wait a year to get another batch. If you’d like to try your hand at making a batch, here’s the recipe.

Pumpkin Witches from Chelsea’s Fat Witch Bakery.

Makes 36 squares

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cup unbleached flour
¼ tsp baking powder

3. In a separate bowl, mix butter, sugar, and vanilla.
4. Beat in eggs.
