Pumpkin S’mores Bars

Pumpkin meets s’mores…it’s definitely the way to welcome fall this year spicy pumpkin bars with a melted chocolate and marshmallow layer. Thank you Inside BruCrew Life

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups chocolate chips
3 cups miniature marshmallows

• Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. 
• Add the pumpkin, eggs and vanilla and beat again.
• Stir together the baking powder, salt, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 
• Slowly add to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms. 
• Spread in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 24 minutes. 
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the hot bars.
• Cover the chocolate chips with the marshmallows. 
• Return to the oven and bake another 2 minutes. 
• Turn on the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes.  
• You just want the marshmallows to start turning golden, so do not over broil them. 
• Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Use a wet knife to cut the bars into 24 squares. 
• Rewet the knife in between each cut. 
• The water on the knife keeps the marshmallow from sticking. 
• Store in a sealed container. 
• Makes 24 bars.
