Sharing pumpkin and chocolate bars for the perfect fall treat for!
September is the unofficial kickoff for pumpkin recipes! Last year there was a run on canned pumpkin and my sister-in-law found 1/2 a case at her grocery store. There is no such thing as too many cans of pumpkin in the pantry!
So with cooler mornings, it seemed the perfect time to make these bars filled with pumpkin goodness and chocolate chips.
You can save these pumpkin bars to your dessert, snack or brunch Pinterest boards. They are very flexible for snacking any time of the day. You can start or end your day with these bars (or both).
These bars are pretty much fail-proof and you know what a big promise that is if you have followed my recipes.
The ingredient list has no surprises so you should have most of the ingredients. The only ingredient you may need is a can of pumpkin.
I made one, may two edits to these pumpkin and chocolate bars. I reduced the sugar by 1/4 of a cup because why not?
Well, I missed those four tablespoons of sugar. Don’t skimp on the sugar.
Sidenote: Right about now my sister is banging her head against her tablet because I did not follow the recipe. #snarkysisters
