Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars


Recipe from Picky Plate. She made little muffins, but I liked
making them in a 9 x 13 inch pan like on
Tried and True recipe
blog.

1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs(about 9 whole graham crackers crushed)
2 T. brown sugar
4 oz softened cream cheese
1 cup pumpkin
1 egg
6 T. sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Melted caramel and chocolate for drizzling on top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the butter, graham crackers,
and brown sugar in a bowl and mix well. Press into the bottom of a
9x13 inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes then remove from the oven. In
a bowl beat the cream cheese, pumpkin, egg, sugar, vanilla, and
cinnamon until smooth. Pour evenly over the crust in the pan.
Next dump the chocolate chips over pumpkin layer then the
pecans then the coconut and then pour the sweetened
condensed milk all over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes
or until golden brown on top. Remove and let cool. Drizzle
with Melted chocolate and caramel. Cut and enjoy. Store
leftovers in the fridge.
I made these treats to give to friends. I just added a tag
