These brownies seem to melt in your mouth.  They have never done me wrong.  Perfect every time.  There is always a bit of the cream cheese frosting left over - great for those pumpkin muffins you made for breakfast.  ;)

Brownies:
2 cups solid pack pumpkin
4 eggs
¾ cups oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, eggs, oil and vanilla until blended. Combine dry ingredients; gradually stir into pumpkin mixture.
