Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the pumpkin layer.
- 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.
- 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 added texture.
