Author Notes

Fellow chocoholics, here is an early holiday treat, Double Dark Chocolate Brownie with Cream Cheese-Pumpkin Swirl. It will sure fix a chocolate craving as you take a bite, toothsome oozing chocolate comes with every bite. That’s the way to start the holiday spirit.
This treat is certainly a healthy one with the combination of the 10-Grain or 9-Grain Flour Blend and reduced fat cream cheese, so indulged if you may. Posted on November 14, 2013 @
