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!
