This quick & easy recipe is made from 2 boxes of cake & Brownie mixes. The original recipe was on a box of cake mix. I did change a few ingredients to add more flavor in my opinion. The posted recipe is my version. I used milk instead of water, I added Pumpkin Pudding mix instead of vanilla, & Vanilla Bean Paste, & I used ingredients to create a cake like brownie, & I used Ghirardelli's Brownie Mix instead of Pillsbury as suggested in the original recipe. The results was quite tasty, & I added a basic Butter glaze & topped it with pecan halves, the results were both impressive & very tasty.
