Nutella Stuffed Pumpkin Cookie Bars – These scrumptiously soft and chewy pumpkin cookie bars are spiced with autumn flavours, and stuffed full of Nutella!
It’a almost October, and I am SO ready for Halloween month! Halloween is definitely one of my favourite holidays. I love everything about it – the candy, trick-or-treating (for my kid, of course 😉 ), family time, scary movies, creepy decorations, EVERYTHING.
These Nutella Stuffed Pumpkin Cookie Bars would make a perfect addiction to a Halloween party. Just look at all that Nutella…
Nutella Stuffed Pumpkin Cookie Bars
These pumpkin cookie bars are so soft and chewy, spiced with a hint of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, and stuffed full of Nutella. I drizzled extra Nutella on top to make these bars extra pretty.
Pumpkin and chocolate go wonderfully together, and it is becoming a favourite combination of mine. If you love Nutella and pumpkin, then you have to give these cookie bars a try.
You’ll be so glad you did!

Wow, I can’t believe October is just a few days away. Although I’m missing summer already, I’m slowly getting into the autumn mood myself. These bars look delicious, and they are just perfect for starting fall baking 😉

I can’t believe October is just around the bend! Where did September go? I don’t mind though because Autumn for me is all about pumpkin and these bars stuffed with nutella are everything.
