These Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars Are Perfect for Fall Festivities!

We had our “so-much-food” carry-in at work this week for Thanksgiving!  We graze. By grazing, I mean we eat ALL DAY LONG. Like cows out to pasture…ya know?

The most exercise you get is walking from buffet table to buffet table.You should have seen all the cookies, cakes, candy, donuts and candies that were adorning our holiday tables. Of course, there were other foods, like your cheesy dips, chips, savory crockpot items and sides.

But, the main attraction of the day, are the decadent, sugary, rich desserts. Right down my alley!! What’s not to like?

I always have a hard time figuring out what to bring to these affairs.  You don’t want to bring the dish that no one touches.  That’s like being the last one picked in dodgeball when deciding teams!  Been there, done that!  It’s not a good, warm fuzzy feeling, right?  (Or am I the only one who’s been picked last?)

But, since we are honoring Thanksgiving, I finally decided to do something pumpkin-fied and baked up these Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars.

This pumpkin white chocolate bar recipe is the best!  Easy to make and definitely a crowd-pleaser!
