As you may already know...I just LOVE fall!
And all the flavors and foods that come with it!
I know some don't care for pumpkin, but hopefully if you're still
reading, you're among those that do.
These terrific cake-like bars are simple to make and the chocolate pairs so
nicely with the spices.
Actually, I changed the measurement of cinnamon and added
pumpkin pie spice instead.
That has cinnamon in it right?
(Yes of course it does...I made my own combo...click here
for recipes for pumpkin pie AND apple pie spice mixes!
Anyway...the first time I made these, I took as treats for a ladies
meeting at church. A few ladies had seconds and another few took some home with them!
I THINK ALL TASTE TESTERS APPROVED!!!
So don't hesitate to mix these up the next time you get a craving for something with pumpkin...or chocolate.
I tweaked the recipe I found at Erin's Table for Seven. Her photo of these
tasty bars looked more like cookie bars...my bars were thicker than
I imagined hers to be...for some reason? I don't think I did anything different with the
ingredients, except the spices, and I also reduced the amount of brown sugar by a tad.
So stop by and tell Erin I said hello. And don't forget to make these
awesome autumn treats soon.
(I'm so tickled with, and love displaying this cute towel every fall.
It was made for me by my dear friend Kitty, of Kitty's Kozy Kitchen!
She's SO talented!)
