I love this time of year. I have always been huge on the holidays & now that I have a child it’s that much more fun to go all-out with the decorating, celebrating and of course- baking!
Or sometimes, lack thereof. Between the pumpkin pie I made last weekend & the pumpkin seeds that will need roasting next weekend, it’s nice to give the oven a break once in awhile. These No Bake Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bites are the perfect, festive solution!

Hello,
Been looking for a recipe to make for a class and show them how to replace unhealthier ingredients with healthier ones. Any suggestions for replacing the butter and powdered sugar?
Hi! I’m not sure what would work for these, but if you figure something out please let me know, I’d love to share it!
That is such a cute idea!
