Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the pumpkin puree and the fudge brownie mix using a sturdy wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This step is key to ensuring the brownies have a consistent texture.

Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
4
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until it’s just softened. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the brownie batter. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie mix, creating a marbled effect.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs attached. The brownies will firm up as they cool.
