And, this Pumpkin Hummus – puts a new Fall twist on the classic version. Tanji’s version was inspired by a dish she found on the menu at Aba in Austin.

But the real star of the show is these Pumpkin Magic Bars.

Move over pumpkin pie or pecan pie – these bars are amazing! It starts by layering a mashed pumpkin spread on top of a crust, then adding layers of toffee chips, butterscotch chips and pecans on top. Finish with a heavy drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and bake to perfection!
