For October 16

It is late, it has been an intense day.  So here is the lineup for tomorrow night:

Nibby Pecan Cookies, Alice Medrich, Bittersweet - these are cookies with chopped pecans and cacao nibs, the precursor to chocolate.  

Pumpkin Cake Bars with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting, from the King Arthur Flour web site.  King Arthur Flour is the best mass-produced flour in the United States, and they are headquartered in Vermont.  I wanted an autumn item this week, and have been looking for a pumpkin bar to make.  Between the pumpkin bars and the maple frosting, this is about as much of an autumn cliche as you can get.  Bring it on!!!
