  • 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Topping Ingredients
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup Butterscotch chips

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow them to set up properly.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar in the crust. You can also add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust for extra texture. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
