Ingredients
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pumpkin puree (pure, not pie filling)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well moistened.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
Notes
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a firmer texture, chill the bars for at least two hours before slicing.
