PUMPKIN BARS

The cooler weather has moved in most evenings and there is a definite crisp to the air…that means Fall is right around the corner and I couldn’t be happier.  I love the sunny days and cool, crisp nights!  I also love that it makes me want to be baking in my kitchen…baking delicious things like these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars!

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars taste like your favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies but they are in an easier to make cookie bar.  Sometimes you want your dessert fast, without having to drop each individual cookie.

PUMPKIN BARS RECIPE

Halloween is right around the corner, So I thought it would be fun to dress these bars up for a fun Halloween Dessert or Halloween Treat idea. These Halloween Bats are so simple to make and are super fun for a Halloween Party this Halloween.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN BARS

To make the Halloween Bat Treats, all you need are the following:

• Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
• Oreos
• Candy Eyes
• Frosting

1.  Pull an Oreo Cookie apart and use the cookie without the frosting (or scrape the frosting off of the cookie).
2. Carefully cut the single Oreo in half with a sharp knife.  If you hold the cookie flat with your hand and gently cut the cookie, you can cut them without them breaking.
3. Place cookies on the Cookie Bar and add a little frosting if you want them to stick to the cookie bar.  Place them so the tips are touching and the flat cut makes the bottom of the bat’s wing.
4. Unwrap a Miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and place it onto the two ends of the wings.  Adhere with a little frosting.  I like when a little bit of the chocolate comes off the side of the peanut butter cup.  It makes it look like the bat has a little smile or expression!
5. Place the candy eyes on the peanut butter cup and hold into place with a little dot of frosting.
