PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS
These delicious, moist and rich-tasting
cake bars do not need a frosting. The spicing is kept mild with just cinnamon,
as I feel the strong pumpkin spices will not go well with the chocolate. The
chocolate chips make the bars sweet enough, so no need for a frosting. You can
freeze them for longer storage and nuke one bar briefly when you want to enjoy
it with a cup of tea or coffee. I do
this when I have lots of other goodies in the house, and then at some point
there is a dry spell, and I can still have dessert on demand! Remember, as with all my dessert recipes, choose your own favorite sweetener; just make sure the batter tastes sweet to you. Remember the unbaked product will taste sweetener than the baked product.
You will have 3/4 cup (175 mL) canned pumpkin leftover. Try this recipe for lovely pumpkin waffles!
