Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides.
Step 2
Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts until smooth.
Step 3
Stir in sugar and eggs until combined, then fold in flour and salt until just blended.
Step 4
Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan, then dollop pumpkin puree across the surface.
Step 5
Swirl pumpkin into batter with a knife, then drop remaining batter in dollops over top and swirl again.
Step 6
Bake 18–20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center has a few moist crumbs — do not overbake.
Step 7
Cool completely in the pan, then lift out using parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Step 8
Frost each brownie with chocolate frosting and sprinkle chocolate chips on top while frosting is still soft.
