Dessert

These no-bakes are more snack than dessert, but equally addictive and a tad more sophisticated in flavor. The pumpkin is deep as I reduced the puree down by half on the stovetop. My chosen way of spicing pumpkin is with a heavy dose of cinnamon elevated with smaller amounts of nutmeg and clove. The aroma of spiced pumpkin immediately fills your home. Sweetness comes in the from sugar and dulce de leche, just think of it as a way to use up the rest of your can after making my other no-bake cookies.Top the cookies off with a bit of fleur de sel for balance and call it fall. Tasters told me these were reminiscent of pumpkin pie mixed with their favorite granola bar. They have that sort of wholesome quality to them. Give my Spiced Pumpkin & Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies a try this fall.
