Now, let's get into the details of how to make these irresistible Pumpkin Chocolate Bars. To start, you will need to make the base by blending oats, dates, and almonds in a food processor until you get a sticky and crumbly texture. Press this mixture into a lined baking dish and bake for 10 minutes to set. While the base is baking, prepare the filling by blending pumpkin puree, coconut cream, and dark chocolate until smooth. Pour this mixture over the baked base and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Once done, let the bars cool before adding the toppings and chilling in the fridge for 1 hour. And there you have it, the perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Bars.Green Kitchen Stories - Pumpkin Chocolate Bars Recipe
