Pumpkin Pie Bars

Here we go again the yearly event of pumpkin pie making. This year I didn’t want to just make a pumpkin pie. Although I have made variations to the classic pumpkin pie over the years I wanted to try a different approach. So instead of making the classic pie I will be making it into bars. Since I had a horrible experience last year I figured individual pieces are the best way to go about my nightmare event. See what had happened apparently nobody knows how to cut a pie. As in someone decided it was a grand idea to hack off random chunks and that scared me.

Here are the ingredients needed for this recipe:
