Pumpkin Spice Bars
Well, I am not a pumpkin kind of person but with the holidays approaching I figured I should make something indicative of the season. These pumpkin spice bars hit the nail on the head for sure!!
These bars have quite a few spices that makes them unique. It is a first for me, as I have never used cloves, and pumpkin spice before in baking, or at least that I can remember. I have used pumpkin puree in several desserts without really noticing the pumpkin flavor, but with this spices in the mix, sure this cake tastes like pumpkin.
I baked it last night and already half of it is gone. My hubby takes it to work in the mornings, and then eats more when he gets back from work.
This is pretty much what happens when I bake. I love to bake so I am glad someone, rather than just myself gets to eat my creations. My kids get to eat them as well, although no so much of them :-)
This pumpkin spice bars are is easy to put together, just see in the instructions.
In any event, this pumpkin bars are comforting and something you will be making often.
Enjoy!
