    I thought that this recipe was excellent! I did add 1 tsp. of vanilla and about 5 tbs. of water to the recipe but they came out great!! I used low fat devil's good cake mix so I got 18 brownies out of the batch for 106 calories per brownie!!! - 4/2/09

    These are fantastic, I have also made them with spice cake, i added 1/2 c water and made 24 muffins, less then a 100 calories. Going to try other cake mixes also. - 4/2/09

    This is the 2nd time I've made these. The first time was with the box mix and they were really pumpkinny. The 2nd time was so much better! I used Giradelli's ultimate brownie mix, 2T water, 1/2t real vanilla at 325 for 35 min. I couldn't taste the pumpkin this time!!! Sinfully delicious & real moist - 4/25/09

    Made these tonight and they are so good! I used Pillsburry but next time I am using Duncan Hines Devils food (my favorite). I forgot to add vanilla but they were so good! I baked them at 340 degress for 25 mins. next time I'll go only 20 mins so they are more fudgy. Definitely a keeper! - 4/8/09

    Ok so you think the first bite is going to taste like pumpkin, but to your taste buds, it taste like a very delicious and moist brownie! It's the best kept secret! Who would have thought this would make these incredible tasting brownies! Bravo! Thumbs up from me. - 4/7/09

    I made this and was really disappointed, esp. after reading all the fabulous reviews. (So it must just be me.) But I thought they were bland and tasteless and just needed "something" (like maybe oil and eggs, hahahaha)? I would not make this again. - 4/18/09

    It has more of a cake-like texture and you really can't taste the pumpkin. My lil son was shocked that there was pumpkin in them! He said, "But they're so chocolatey, Mum!" He definitely wants me to make them again! So, Mum tested and kid approved! Thank you! ^^ - 4/18/09

    I love this recipe. It's very similar to Hungry Girl's recipe but she adds no water, cooks at 400 for 20 minutes and makes them into muffins. My favorite version of this is using butter pecan cake mix with pumpkin, absolutely fabulous!! - 4/18/09

    I can't wait to try this recipe! I never thought about trying a chocolate cake mix. I like to mix a 15 oz. can of pumpkin into a carrot cake mix (NO water added). These two ingredients makes wonderful Pumpkin Cookies! A few chocolate chips thrown in and I'm instantly my grandson's favorite grammy!!! - 4/7/09

    I LOVE these! My son can taste the difference so I am going to add a few chocolate chips to sweeten the deal for his. The spice cake mix and pumpkin also makes a wonderful muffin! - 4/3/09

    Very good! I would consider this cake, rather than brownies and I served it with a whipped topping. - 4/21/09

    Fantastic! I have made them twice now. 1st time, I used Reduced Sugar Devils food Cake & cooked at 325 for 20 minutes, they were a little gooey (fudgy) but A+! 2nd time, I used regular Devils Food Mix & baked at 325 for 30 minutes. This time a little more dry & cake like. Try cooking for 25 min. - 4/18/09

    I was disappointed that you couldn't really taste the pumpkin. It was fun to try, but I wouldn't eat it again. - 4/11/09

    I have been making this recipe for a about 4 years. (Now, I don't put fudge frosting on them!) Adding a little more water, about 10 oz and beating it longer, it comes out more cake like. It does work VERY well with carrot cake mix, too. - 4/2/09

    not sure what I did wrong, but these leave an aftertaste and are not very good. I'm going to try again with the spice cake and hope for better results - 4/25/09

    I made these and they were pretty good. I think I added too much water. Also I wasn't sure if you were to cook as the box instructed or at a different temperature. Altogether they were good but tasted like diet food to me. - 4/21/09

    I've made these before with low fat brownie mix and they are moist and incredible. They taste like pumpkin though so if you don't like pumpkin it's not for you. - 4/20/09

    my 6 year old devoured these! What a sneaky way for him to get some vitamin A. I shared them at work and had to share the recipe. I added 1 tbsp vanilla and 3 tbsp water because my mix looked too dry. - 4/17/09
