Today makes day #7 in our 12 Days of Christmas Desserts series. I already have a list of ingredients I need to buy to make some yummy sweet treats for Christmas. If you’ve missed the earlier recipes, no worries. You can find them all below, at the bottom of this post. Make sure to check them out and click on over to the ones that interest you!

This year, my friend Naomi, is trying something new.  Since she works in the medical field and has to work this Christmas, she is looking forward to making this Homemade Pumpkin Bars with Candied Pecan Topping recipe.  This is on the menu this year because it is a simple recipe and can easily be made ahead and then topped with whipped topping and candied pecans at the last minute.  Not everyone in her house is a fan of pumpkin, so she will also be adding a peanut butter pie to make sure the kids are happy with the dessert options.  Do you have a picky eater in your house?  What type of desserts do they like for you to add to the menu?

Is a pumpkin dessert a “must do” on your Christmas dessert menu?  Make sure to head over and get Naomi’s recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Bars with Candied Pecan Topping!

As promised, here are the earlier recipes we’ve posted. Enjoy!!
