Bars are easier to serve and eat!
No Bake Pumpkin Pie Bars
16 Squares
25 Minutes
Okay, okay, so before you yell at me for saying "No Bake", yes, you have to put the graham cracker crust in the oven. I would hardly call this baking! If you have a timer so as not to burn the crust, you're good to go! Otherwise, just layer on that spiced pumpkin pie filling, cream cheese/whipped topping mixture, and cinnamon-y pecan topping. This dessert is soooo good, and it's pumpkin pie kicked up a notch for sure. If you're doing a socially distanced Thanksgiving this year, just have these babies cut up in advance on a tray and everyone can help themselves. And if you don't have time to really bake something, these are perfect!!!

- This makes a generous layer of whipped topping! The photos shown here only contain half a recipe of the cream cheese mixture, but I think it needed more!
