A tasty fall treat my family likes to call pumpkin bars.

As a kid, I never liked pumpkin pie. I think it was the mushiness that resembled baby food, I couldn’t get past. The only pumpkin recipe I could handle where these pumpkin bars my mom would make every year. I couldn’t wait until the colder months.

Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool cozy weather it brings, the endless treats and of course my birthday. I think my favorite reason for loving the season is how it brings people together. I have watched so many people come together to make a beautiful dinner. Each family making a favorite past time recipe and showing up for one another. Whether they are family, friends or kind strangers.. I’ve watched so many connect over food.

Pumpkin bars have always been our go to treat to bring to a friends house, once fall arrives. They quickly become a hit and for most of the gathering I’m texting the recipe to everyone who has asked for it.

My favorite part about pumpkin bars is the texture. If you don’t love pumpkin pie, but crave a pumpkin treat this fall, try this recipe. I know it will quickly become your new favorite reason to love fall.

They’re moist like a sweet cake and have the perfect pumpkin flavor. Add the cream cheese frosting, whether homemade or bought and your hooked! Top with walnuts, pecans or cinnamon if you like or let the pumpkin bars and cream cheese frosting speak for itself. Either way, I know you can’t deny this tasty fall treat!
