Cute and delicious pumpkin treats with cream cheese filling, perfect for lunch boxes!
Today I am sharing these cute and delicious pumpkin treats with cream cheese filling, perfect for lunch boxes or any time! I love everything pumpkin, and autumn is the perfect time to kick it into high gear.
Although, I will be honest, I make desserts with pumpkin in them all year long, because pumpkin is a great way to make those sweets just a little less unhealthy. It adds fiber to the dessert, and eliminates the need for oil. Gotta love it!

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
