Pumpkin Cookie Bars

This past weekend we were forced to stop by the local megastore (which will remain nameless) and witness a group of Christmas trees displayed proudly in the garden area. Christmas trees. It's still October, isn't it? But that reminded us that even though we were bummed about the early arrival of our friend Pumpkin, we're going to miss it him when he's gone. Enjoy these Pumpkin Oreo Bars before the fall flavor disappears.
