What is the best Thanksgiving dessert? In this case, there is only one right answer: pumpkin bars. They are the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. First, the cream cheese frosting on the top is to die for. It’s the perfect thickness and has a great taste. After a big meal full of meat, veggies, and a whole lot of other foods, the only thing you desire is something sweet and delicious. Pumpkin bars are the perfect dessert for that. They are sweet but not overbearing, and they are also soft but not too chewy. They are especially awesome if you enjoy the taste of pumpkin. Peyton Lathrum argues that Scotcheroos are the best dessert because the chocolate on the top is hard and the nuts on the bottom are soft, when you bite into it it just melts together. In my opinion, pumpkin bars are softer all around and have a better combination of flavors. Pumpkin bars are also so simple to make and only take close to an hour to finish plus cool down time depending on the recipe. Let me know what you think.
