SO now 7 days into this challenge and I have basically learned two things about pumkin....
1. You are either a BIG Pumpkin fan....or you're NOT.
2. .....If you're not a big pumkin fan then the only time Pumkin is good is when it is completely loaded with
cinnamon, brown sugar and sugar!
We are now at Sunday November 6 and again I had some catching up to do! Three recipes this weekend...two were hits! #3.....well read on....
Pumkin Spice Magic Bar minis! These remind me of a granola bar and the pumkin is so light, everything else takes over...which made it yummy...plus, chocolate chips, nuts and coconut with caramel....how could it taste bad!
1/4 C melted Butter mixed with 3/4 C graham cracker crumbs to make a crust which you bake in the over at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes then set aside...the recipe instructs to do these in mini cheesecake cups...but I did them in a square pan as bars and they were just fine.
In a bowl mix 2 oz cream cheese softened and 3/4 cup of pumkin puree, 3Tbsp sugar and 1/4 teasp. cinnamon ....until smooth and spread it over the crumb crust. Then layer one at a time....chocolate chips (1/2 C) then crushed cashews (1/2C) shredded coconut (3/4C) ...last pour 1/2 C of sweetened condensed milk over the entire thing and bake in the oven at 350 for about 20-24 minutes or until top is golden. Before they cool completely run a knife around the edges because as it cools it gets really sticky....
Once they are cooled remove them from cups or cut into squares and place on the serving tray...the drizzle with warm carmel!
makes about 12 large squares.
And since it had the ingredients which prove my point number 2- Sugar.....cinnamon....they were tasty!
