yummy fall flavors!
We love fall in our house because it means pumpkin recipes! These pumpkin cream cheese bars are a favorite seasonal dessert, packed with the best flavors of the season. They’re pumpkin “bars”, but the consistency is somewhere in between our popular Pumpkin Brownies and Pumpkin Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting. And they have the most DELICIOUS swirls of cream cheese throughout!
