Every autumn I’m always hunting for new pumpkin ideas. I adore anything with pumpkin spice, so this year I combined two favorites—pumpkin coffee cake and pumpkin cheesecake—to create these pumpkin streusel bars.

The result is far better than many restaurant versions and perfect for holiday gatherings.

These bars are a definite winner.
