A great dessert for any time of the year, but especially the fall, these pumpkin chocolate chip bars are so yummy!
Pumpkin recipes are all the rage these days, so when we ended up with some left over pumpkin after our Pumpkin Harvest Cocktail last week we decided we needed to find a great dessert that would fit right in with that great cocktail. This recipe changes it up by adding in chocolate chips.

Pumpkin Bars
A great combination of pumpkin and chocolate, these pumpkin bars are dense and soft, almost cake-like. The chocolate chips give each bite a sweet creamy burst of chocolate. This would be a great dessert for a Halloween party, or even as a different dessert for a Thanksgiving meal.
Cheers!

Love the look of the orange pumpkin and chocolate chips together. And I love that they make an 8x8 pan too because some times I just don't need a whole 9x13 cake laying around.
