My hubby’s so obsessed with these bars! He often sneaks a few for a snack whenever I’m not looking

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

For a nutty twist, you could sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the pumpkin layer before baking. If you have picky eaters who aren’t keen on pumpkin, you can substitute sweet potato puree for a similar texture and flavor. For those who prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the brown sugar topping by half.
