Notes

  • • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. • Garnish with whipped cream and ground cinnamon dusting when ready to serve. • You can use store bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice and whipped cream. • How will I know they are done cooking? Bars should mostly firm when done but if they still appear wet or jiggly in the pan they will need more time. • Pumpkin bars are delicious even without whipped cream but you can also serve them with vanilla ice cream or finely chopped pecans. • For a little extra spice you can throw a dash of pumpkin pie spice in the graham cracker crust as well. • Heavy Whipping Cream can be substituted for the half and half
