Pumpkin Power

Finished product

The weather this week has been rainy and chilly and an overall gloom has set in over the usually bright blue sky. I'm completely obsessed. It's like a taste of home. However, my now-thinned blood has left me in a constant shiver, as I wrote I was curled up in a soft blanket in front of my fireplace. While I warmed up (or made a failed attempt to) I made these pumpkin butterscotch (sans butterscotch, but + toasted marshmallow topping) fudge bars  for a tasty fall treat and a welcomed bite of warmth. Just one bite makes you envision the crisp fall air, the crunch of the leaves under your shoes and for me in particular (and my pumpkin-loving partner in crime & West Coast newbie, Kristin) childhood memories of mischief.

Couldn't resist an extra crispy one 

I saved you some leftovers; promise
