Pumpkin Spice Bars

October 5, 2015 by mandyrecipebox

Pumpkin Spice Bars taste a bit like pumpkin pie. With a shortbread crust and pumpkin butter filling, these will be a tasty fall treat for your family and friends.

Pumpkin Spice Bars

Pumpkin season is the best season next to all the Christmas goodies season. I love pumpkin everything. Bring. it. on. I made my first pumpkin recipe of the season back in August. It was like coming home. I found a recipe for Pumpkin Butter and knew I had to make something with it because yum. My friends over at High Heels and Grills have never done me wrong before. I halved their recipe for these bars. This shortbread crust and topping is so easy to make and goes perfectly with the pumpkin butter. Make it and fall in love!

    “Pumpkin Spice Bars taste a bit like pumpkin pie.” you sure it doesn’t taste like mac and cheese?

    I honestly would eat them both separately- The crust then the pumpkin butter- They both sound so good!!!
