Today calls for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. This year is just flying by! I can not believe that we are in the middle of November already and the holiday season is upon us. For me that means a whole lot of cooking and baking for friends and family.

How to make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookie Bars

Sharing goodness through quality products is one ideal that I hold dear to my heart and NESTLÉ® products help me achieve that. As a busy working mom to three school aged children, I feel good knowing that everything is ok in moderation and sometimes you need a sweet treat and that is ok!

Really these are products that I have stocked in my pantry at all time because I use them often. AT this time of year I try to use LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin all the time. I make soups, breads, smoothies, and much more! The possibilities are endless.

This recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars is really a no-fail recipe. It is so good and the bars come up thick, fluffy and moist.

Everyone enjoys this recipe- it is sweet but not overly indulgent. I have been cutting them into small squares and packing them in my children’s lunch boxes for school as well as in my lunch too! I love the creamy consistency of these bars. I love that these bars contain pumpkin so I feel good about baking these for my family.

TIP: If you wanted to make a healthier version, simply swap each egg for ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce.
