Pumpkin Spice Cookie Bars Recipe

Yes, I know, I know. I am all about the Pumpkin Spice lately, but it's for good reason! Everyone loves pumpkin spice and I am merely giving the public what they want: PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING.

It is not really MY fault that Starbucks started this crazy trend of people being totally obsessed with Pumpkin Spice!

While this would be the perfect Thanksgiving dessert, it's also a really fun treat to make for Halloween - you can even use Halloween-themed M&Ms on top, or substitute a variety of other Halloween candies as toppings.

It’s The Season For All Things Pumpkin Spice Right? It’s everyone’s guilty pleasure this time of year. We have our fancy coffee drinks, baked goods, even room sprays.

Seems like everywhere you look there’s a new *thing* made into our favorite fall flavor. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve taken a selfie or eight with my yummy coffee drink. Don’t judge.
