Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

Fall really brings out an increased number of recipes featuring pumpkin. Today I have another one for you – Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bars! These moist bars takes the flavor of pumpkin and puts it into a brownie, then combines that with the flavor and texture of a chocolate chip cookie. They’re super easy to make and even easier to serve. Here’s how to make them.

Equipment Needed

• hand mixer OR stand mixer
• large mixing bowl
• measuring cup
• measuring spoons

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.

Line a brownie baking dish with parchment paper, then spay with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Use a mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
