Pumpkin Dream Bars are decadent chunks of crunchy, chocolaty, nutty goodness. This delicious bar is topped with coconut and drenched in pumpkin spice goodness.  OH, WOW, is it yummy? Â
Now that we are both dreaming of eating a pumpkin spice dream bar, the reality of no dream bars is setting in. So let’s get cooking and make some together. Then we can put our feet up, pour a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy one together in our imaginations. Hey, I just gave you a reason to try something new, so let’s get cooking.Â
Let’s Assemble the Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Dream Bars.
Here is what you need:
- Â Pumpkin puree. That is pure pumpkin cooked and mashed, nothing added. Don’t buy the pumpkin pie mix.Â
- Pumpkin spice – essential. Use the pumpkin pie spice.Â
- Biscoff cookies are crushed fine for the crust and held together with butter and sugar.
- The toppings are – chocolate chips, pecans, and flaked coconut.
- This pile of yum is topped with sweetened condensed milk mixed with the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice.Â
SIS (simple is smart) instructions for making these Pumpkin Spice Dream Bars. Â
- Crush the biscoff cookies and mix them with the melted butter and sugar. Press into a 9 X 9-inch baking pan.
- Add the layers: pecans, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes. I sometimes add crushed toffee bits for an extra layer of flavor.Â
- Mix together sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle that all over the top.
- Bake, cook, and enjoy
That is the recipe in four simple steps. When they are done, cut a piece, get your cup of coffee or tea, kick back and savor the fruits of your labor. Â
