Pumpkin Pie White Chocolate Brownies that taste like brownies, white chocolate fudge, and pumpkin pie had a baby!

Today is a very special day, people. Today is the day that I, along with 70 other bloggers, celebrate the great flavor that is pumpkin. Today is the #VirtualPumpkinParty. To quote the brainchild of this operation, Sara, it is quite literally a pumpkin explosion around the interwebs.

I mean, how can you not celebrate pumpkin? It’s without a doubt my favorite fall flavor, and is perhaps my favorite flavor period. It’s sweet, spiced, vibrant, and adds moisture to any dish. It’s not high in sugar and can be easily combined with endless flavors- chocolate, cinnamon, graham, apple, ginger, maple, banana…

And white chocolate. 

It’s perfect with white chocolate. The white chocolate is just flavorful enough to stand up to the vibrant spice of the pumpkin, while the pumpkin’s moistness is brought out by the white chocolate. Along with their subtle nuttiness, they compliment each other perfectly.

This bar combines the texture of pumpkin pie filling and fudgy brownies. It tastes like Thanksgiving and Christmas and Halloween all rolled into one. It’s festive and bold, yet easy enough to make as an every day treat.

Have I sold you yet?!

I’m in Chicago for the next two days before setting off for the 2015 Better Blog Retreat in Park City, Utah. I can’t wait to be in the mountains for a weekend of inspiration with some amazing bloggers. But more on that later. Let’s focus on pumpkin.

Get your mixing bowls out, people. It’s a freaking pumpkin party.
