Thanks to Florida Crystals® for sponsoring this post, Pumpkin Cranberry Bars. My opinions are my own. 

Pumpkin Cranberry Bars with Brown Butter Frosting are perfect for Thanksgiving or any time you crave a delicious snack. The brown butter frosting compliments the bars and these are easy to make. 

I always plan my Thanksgiving Day menu way in advance. You can download my FREE Thanksgiving Planner now! 

The menu stays pretty much the same each year. However, I usually change up the desserts to keep things fresh and exciting.

This year, it’s all about pumpkin cranberry bars with brown butter frosting. My guests will love the taste of these bars and I love how easy they are to make. 

Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar

You’ll notice that I use Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar in this recipe. It’s the only certified organic raw sugar grown and harvested in the United States. Florida Crystals® can be purchased on Amazon! 

Of course, you can also use regular granulated sugar for this recipe. 

I use organic raw sugar to make the bars and powdered sugar for the frosting. 

Organic raw cane sugar is an excellent replacement for white granulated sugar. Its golden crystals have a delicious hint of molasses and are perfect for baking. Use the exact same amount of organic raw cane sugar in place of white sugar.
