Happy Halloween! I’m staying in tonight and baking up a storm 🎃 Each fall, these bars are one of my favorite sweet treats and I know that your family will love them like mine do. After all, 2020 could probably use this pumpkin pie bars a little earlier than Thanksgiving this year… enjoy and have a very happy and spooky holiday!
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Like a square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, add all wet ingredients for crust and pulse until combined. Next, add in the dry crust ingredients and pulse until a dough is formed.
Add the dough to the parchment lined pan. Use your hands to spread to the edges. Bake for 8-10 minutes and set aside to cool after for about 5.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for filling. Once the crust has cooled, pour the filling and tap gently to evenly spread. Bake for 50-60 minutes— you can tell it’s finished when it doesn’t jiggle anymore.
Remove and let cool. Cover and transfer to the fridge for around 6 hours. I just left it in overnight.
