Pumpkin, Chocolate + Hazelnut Blondies VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

‘Tis the season for pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!  I can’t seem to get enough squash at this time of year, as you’ll see in some upcoming posts.  This recipe, from Smitten Kitchen, was happened-upon while perusing Pinterest for something new to create from this seasonal, golden gourd.  As the initial blogger indicated, it lacked in being thoroughly present in pumpkin or chocolate spirit.  Never fear!  This is what leftover ganache, freshly ground nutmeg and chopped hazelnuts are for! If you don’t have any ganache on hand, melt some milk-chocolate morsels and drizzle those over the top.  Voilà!  A perfectly decadent fall treat!
