Pumpkin Blondies

In case you haven’t noticed, I have a thing for brownies. I wold much rather have a brownie over cake any day! Unless the cake has a really great, thick layer of buttercream frosting, I usually can “take it or leave it.” So I try to “leave it” and save room for something I really like.

We had a Halloween party or “Trunk or Treat” at our church the other day. I didn’t go (I stayed home with my new little guy) but my husband took the kids and had signed up to bring a dessert. I recently come across this recipe and thought it was the perfect dessert for him to bring to the party.
