Two memorable harvest-time desserts — Caramel Apple Crumble Bars and Pumpkin Swirl Brownies — are perfect solutions for R.C.S. of Chicago who requested transportable sweets for a tailgate party. The treats, also suitable for a last-minute Halloween gathering, are worth encores through Thanksgiving.

Gooey, buttery caramel is irresistible in the apple bars (from Annie’s Eats blog) and cream cheese and pumpkin puree add seasonal delight to the brownies (from Bake or Break blog). Both bloggers created their recipes for GoBoldWithButter.com.
