Submitted by *Parsley*

"Recipe comes from Nestle. The pumpkin flavor is subtle. I have completely omitted the allspice many times and still gotten good results."

Mild and cakey, these get 5 stars for also being a healthy lunchbox treat that's quick to make. Had to bake mine longer. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

A very tasty, and low fat, treat!! I found that the amount of allspice was fine IF you doubled the amount of cocoa powder. I just felt that 1 tsp wouldn't quite do it. We were very pleased with the results! Thanks for sharing.

I actually made these brownies last night (from the exact same recipe off of verybestbaking.com) and they are VERY good. However, they have just a little bit too much "spice" in them, so maybe reduce the allspice to 1/4 tsp or so. Good stuff!
