PEANUT BUTTER PUMPKIN SWIRL BARS

You will be shocked at how good these delicious peanut butter pumpkin bars are. Save these for the Fall season!

Why You’ll Love These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bars

We never thought of this combination until we saw a similar recipe in an old cookbook. The author said it was a great way to use extra pumpkin during the holiday season. We decided to try our own version and I will admit.. they are delicious! They have the consistency of a brownie and the swirl just make them even more moist. If you are not a fan of pumpkin you could easily just leave it out.

Swaps

If you love peanut butter and chocolate, you can leave out the pumpkin. I think you would have to lower the cooking time, since the ingredients will have changed somewhat. We use crunchy peanut butter but I believe any would work. I have not tried making this with any other nut butters.
