Pumpkin Bars

It’s crazy to me that Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I always have my staples that I make around the holidays, and then I like to throw in a few newer ones as well. I was going through some old family recipes and came across pumpkin bars. Tis the season, and my family loves everything pumpkin, I knew I had to make it and share with you. Please check out the recipe below.
