Have you ever heard of pumpkin spice extract? Me neither! Until I found a unique product from Rodelle Vanilla called “Pumpkin Spice Extract”. It made the absolute perfect pumpkin spice bars! Not too much of one spice – just the perfect balance of warm cinnamon, vanilla and pumpkin for an update on a somewhat classic fall treat! These bars are topped with Rodelle vanilla bean cream cheese frosting – I dare you to eat just one! My mom always makes these once the weather cools and fall hits, so they bring back so many nostalgic memories for me! Somehow, cozy pumpkin desserts can do that! I hope that these bars give you all of the cozy comforts of home that we all love so much during this time of year!

What if you cannot find the pumpkin spice extract or the vanilla bean paste? Any substitution recommendations?

  Hi Susan! If you are wanting to try the extract and vanilla bean paste, you can head over to my blog for the links to purchase these (https://bucketsofyum.com/pumpkin-spice-bars/) . Otherwise, you can substitute an equal amount of vanilla extract for the vanilla bean paste and the following ingredients for the pumpkin spice extract: 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp. cloves. I hope you enjoy these!
