How-to Make
Step 1: Blend the bar ingredients together in a blender or food processor until your desired consistency is achieved (smooth or chunky!). Press into a parchment paper-lined 8x8 pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 2: While the bars are in the fridge, make the frosting. Combine the frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl, then whisk until smooth.
Step 3: Remove the bars from the fridge, then spread the frosting over the top. Place back into the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes longer.
Step 4: Remove the bars from the fridge, slice, and enjoy! Keep stored in the refrigerator.
Top Tip
Be certain to chill the bars in-between steps as instructed in the recipe card (and after making!) for best results.
FAQ
Can I replace the pumpkin with something else?
Yes. You can use applesauce, butternut squash puree or any fruit or vegetable puree you prefer!
How long can these sit at room temperature?
These bars maintain their shape and texture for about half an hour at room temperature. After that, they are still just as delicious, but much softer in nature. Pop them back into the fridge to maintain their shape and fudgy texture.
