We have reached the season of everything pumpkin: pumpkin bars, bread, pies, lattes, etc.
I’ll admit, the second the weather turns cool or I see a leaf turn yellow, I pull out my go-to recipe for pumpkin bars. They have become so popular that I make them for any and every get together in the fall.
Once I find a recipe my family loves, it gets the label of “Betsy’s Best.” So give my Betsy’s Best pumpkin bars a try, and let me know what you think.
