Spiced pumpkin pecan bites are a terrific treat!
If you're searching for a delicious fall treat that requires no cook time, then you'll be delighted with spiced pumpkin pecan bites! This simple and tasty dessert is the perfect solution for dessert or just an afternoon snack. Pumpkin, pecans, cinnamon, and cream cheese–this recipe has it all.
‘Tis the season to bring out your best fall treats. If you want to serve up something other than pumpkin pie (but still has all of those yummy flavors), then you should consider this easy recipe. Simply toast the pecans, whip up the creamy smooth mixture, and you have a bite-sized treat that nobody can resist.
You'll notice that this is a sugar-free recipe, but it still has a ton of sweetness. Monk fruit sweetener is derived from a melon-like fruit that originates in China and Thailand. It is said to be 250 times sweeter than regular sugar and also happens to be zero-calorie and doesn't raise blood sugar levels. Whether you're following a low carb or sugar-free diet, then this is a great dessert option.
This time of year can get pretty hectic–especially in the kitchen. That's why it's so nice to have a few items on the menu that don't require cook time. Roasting the pecans and melting the concoction are the only things that need a few minutes on the stove. You'll also have to wait for the mixture to freeze up before serving. All in all, it's a simple dish that requires very little time in the kitchen.
Serve up something that will blow them away this year. Spiced pumpkin pecan bites are a delicious fall treat that works well for numerous occasions. You can't go wrong with all of this amazing flavor! Don't forget to jot down the recipe because EVERYBODY is going to be asking for it!
