Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared 9x9 pan then top it with half of the pumpkin mix. Using a spatula, give the brownie batter and pumpkin a couple of folds to make swirly patterns. Sprinkle half of the butterscotch chips on the batter. Repeat with remaining batter and pumpkin mix and top the batter with remaining butterscotch chips.
