When we got home from our trip out West last week, I had missed being in my kitchen! The day after arriving home, we had small group dinner and I had signed up to bring dessert. I knew exactly which recipe I was going to try…yes, I would make a new recipe to take! It’s my normal pattern…sigh. I don’t know why I risk it, but there are just so many good recipes, and these always seem like the perfect opportunities to try them!

For all of you pumpkin lovers, here’s a dessert in bar form that makes a lot but also delivers in moist, delicious pumpkin-ness!
