Pumpkin Nutella Bars
These delicious Pumpkin Nutella Bars are like chewy cookie bars with a gooey layer of Nutella. The perfect dessert bars for the fall.
This is it. This Pumpkin Nutella Bars recipe is the only pumpkin recipe you will need this fall.
It's that time of year. Pumpkin spice lattes came out at Starbucks, meaning that it is basically the fall season. And with the fall season comes all of the pumpkin flavor recipes that I can think of. But after making these Nutella pumpkin bars recipe, I don't know if I want to make any more pumpkin recipes. The rich pumpkin batter mixed with a generous swirl of Nutella makes these pumpkin Nutella swirl bars my new favorite fall recipe.
The first time I made these delicious bars, my husband requested that I make them for him again the next week for his birthday. And since then, I have already made them 4 more times. They are so good, I'm already planning on bringing them to any Halloween party or event that I go to this fall.

Tips
Storage: Store the Nutella pumpkin bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 days.
Use a different shaped baking pan. Instead of a square pan, you can use a Halloween shaped pan or even a cake pan. Just make sure that you either cover the pan in foil or non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
Swap out the Nutella. Don't like Nutella? Try cookie butter, peanut butter or any other nut butter you like.
