HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SMORE BARS
Pumpkin smore bars are a cross between pumpkin pie, cheesecake and s’mores. The gram crackers of the smore become a cheesecake like crust for the bar.
The pumpkin puree is created into a flavourful sweetness of pie and is sandwiched between the chocolate chip layer and the gooey marshmallow topping.
To put these bars together really isn’t as complicated as it sounds. Start by gathering your ingredients and your equipment and making room to bake.
INGREDIENTS:
I make pumpkin puree from scratch in the fall with all of the pumpkins we harvest after halloween. It’s honestly the easiest thing I preserve. You can make your own pumpkin puree as well for this recipe if you so wish.

This recipe also works just fine with canned pumpkin from the grocery store. I suggest just getting the pumpkin puree and not the canned pumpkin pie filling. Make your own pie filling for a richer result.
STEP ONE:
Create the first layer by baking the gram crackers in the oven topped with melted butter and brown sugar for a crusty base layer.
STEP TWO:
Spread chocolate chips on the hot crust layer fresh from the oven and pour over the pumpkin pie filling over the chocolate chips
STEP THREE:
Top with marshmallows and bake for 40 minutes until the marshmallows have browned and the pumpkin pie filling is firm.
TO SERVE:
This bar is best served cold or at room temperature. Remove the bar from the oven and let completely cool. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
