Well, it is starting to feel like Fall in my neck of the woods. If your area isn’t getting cooler, these awesome pumpkin bars will fill your house with the scents of Fall, even if you’re still in air conditioning!!!
It seems like everywhere we turn this time of year, there is pumpkin spice “something” being sold. Make these delicious bars with all natural, Feingold-approved ingredients. These are my family’s favorite treat. And, truthfully, we don’t only save them for the Fall!
