Pumpkin Bars

I *think* this might be my last pumpkin recipe I share this year! I have enjoyed making a few new things this pumpkin season. For example, this yummy pumpkin dessert, this cozy drink and today's recipe which is also a new one. I have made pumpkin bars before, but never this exact recipe. This one was much better than the one I have used in the past.  

These pumpkin bars do not look as impressive as a pumpkin roll, but are equally delicious!

These bars were soft and very filling. I recommend cutting them into smaller size bars because a little goes a long way with these. 

I haven't decided which dessert I plan on making for Thanksgiving, yet. Have you? I always enjoy hearing about the yummy food that everyone will be preparing for the holidays. Let me know in the comments what you're fixing!
