Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars

Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars are perfectly moist, chewy bars and have all of the spice and warmth of classic pumpkin pie. And the white chocolate chips - OMG! These bars won't let you down!

We had our "so-much-food" carry-in at work this week for Thanksgiving!  We graze. By grazing, I mean we eat ALL DAY LONG. Like cows out to pasture...ya know?  The most exercise you get is walking from buffet table to buffet table.You should have seen all the cookies, cakes, candy, donuts and candies that were adorning our holiday tables. Of course, there were other foods, like your cheesy dips, chips, savory crockpot items and sides.  But, the main attraction of the day, are the decadent, sugary, rich desserts.

Right down my alley!! What's not to like? 

 I always have a hard time figuring out what to bring to these affairs.  You don't want to bring the dish that no one touches.  That's like being the last one picked in dodge-ball when deciding teams!  Been there, done that!  It's not a good, warm fuzzy feeling, right?  (Or am I the only one who's been picked last?)

But, since we are honoring Thanksgiving, I finally decided to do something pumpkin-fied and bake these Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars, except I renamed them Perfect Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars.  Because, to me, these are the Perfect Pumpkin Bars ever!

They're perfectly moist, chewy and have all of the spice and warmth of classic pumpkin pie. And the white chocolate chips, are such a nice addition.

Truth be told, I ate 3, just while I was cutting them into squares.  So I alone, probably could have polished these off, if I hadn't had to take them to the office. Eat them plain, sprinkled with powder sugar or drizzle them with white chocolate!  I took them in drizzled with white chocolate, but I liked and prepared them all 3 ways and they were 'perfectly' divine!  Plenty of bars to share!!

Here's the perfect recipe!  Hope you enjoy!
