Description

These Pumpkin Magic Bars are a fall twist on the classic 7-layer bars! They feature a buttery graham cracker crust, a spiced pumpkin layer, and gooey caramelized layers of chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for autumn gatherings or a cozy dessert!


Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 crackers)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the Pumpkin Layer:

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Toppings:

 

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or butterscotch chips)

  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  • Make the Crust – In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  • Prepare Pumpkin Layer – In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly over the graham cracker crust.

  • Add Toppings – Sprinkle the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, coconut, and chopped nuts evenly over the pumpkin layer.

  • Drizzle & Bake – Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

 

  • Cool & Serve – Let bars cool completely before slicing. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.


Notes

  • Crust Alternative: Swap graham crackers for crushed gingersnap cookies for extra spice!

  • Nut-Free Option: Skip the pecans or replace them with more chocolate or coconut.

 

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
