Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to 350°F and coat a 16x12x1-inch baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the two boxes of brownie mix with the two cans of pumpkin purée, stirring until well mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the brownies spring back when touched lightly.
- Let the brownies cool completely, then use a 1½-inch round cookie cutter to cut out disks (you’ll need three per push-up).
- Layer in a push-up: one brownie disk, a layer of purple frosting (with optional sprinkles), another brownie disk, green frosting with sprinkles, a third brownie disk, and orange frosting with sprinkles.
- Place a battery-operated tea light on top of the final frosting layer.
- For the frosting recipe and assembly details, follow the instructions provided in the linked resource.
