Pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies are the most popular and common desserts that are enjoyed on Thanksgiving day. If you are like me and want to step outside of the norm, here are some of my favorite non-traditional desserts to bring to the table:
- Pumpkin Truffles
Ah, my favorite!
Pumpkin truffles are pumpkin pie balls surrounded by white and/or dark chocolate with a hint of graham cracker crumbs. They are the perfect bite-sized treat!

This warm fudgy brownie infused with pecan filling and a crunchy layer of pecans will most definitely be the talk of the table!

- Pumpkin Pie Bars
Instead of baking a whole pumpkin pie to slice, you can make bars! They are easier to make due to the different crusts, way easier to distribute and just as delicious!
