Easy pumpkin pie bars are the perfect fall treat!
Happy National Pumpkin Day
I have a love for pumpkin desserts. Well most of them anyways. I am not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, I like it but by no means do I love it. These pumpkin pie bars, well I LOVE them!
I found this recipe about a year ago and I have probably made them 10X since then. They are simple to make. They feed a crowd. And believe me you will not eat just one! I love that they are in bar form so you can easily eat one or two as you are walking by the refrigerator ;).
These are a staple in my home, I hope you like them just as much as I do 🙂
