Have you ever made Sheet Pan Desserts? There’s just something about being able to make a bunch of sweet treats at a time and having very few dishes to wash that I find very satisfying.
These recipes promise a hassle-free and delicious way to satisfy a crowd’s sweet cravings with minimal cleanup. Slab pies, cookies, bars, and brownies can all be done in a sheet pan!

Enjoy pumpkin in more ways than just a latte or pie. Try these tasty pumpkin bars. They’re an incredible fall delight with flavors you’ll want to eat year-round.
