Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses Bars Recipe

Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses Bars Recipe

I don’t know about you, but grocery shopping gets a lot more fun for me when summer turns to fall. Mums, apples, pumpkins and other fall crops fill the produce aisles, and seasonal items with fall flavors start appearing all over the store. One of my favorite aisles to check out in the fall is the candy aisle, to see what kinds of special fall candies are out for Halloween.

Hershey’s has a number of special candies out for Halloween this year, including Kit Kat Halloween Bars, Cadbury Screme Eggs, and Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Lollipops (all perfect for handing out to trick-or-treaters!) … But the one that caught my eye for baking Halloween and fall-themed goodies was Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses.

I thought it would be fun to put the Pumpkin Spice Kisses inside a baked Halloween treat, so I came up with these Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses Bars. They are like a pumpkin pie bar cookie, with the added surprise of a Pumpkin Spice Kiss in the middle (yum, right!?).

These bars are the perfect TREAT for Halloween parties or sharing with little ghosts and goblins in the neighborhood ...but if you’re a pumpkin lover, like me, they might not last that long!

This recipe was homegrown, but if need more inspiration for Halloween crafts, recipes or party ideas using Hershey’s candy, check out Celebrate with Hershey’s.
