Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

When the fall hits, we all tend to get baking with pumpkin. These pumpkin cheesecake bars with ganache are a must try! The crust is made from chocolate graham crackers combined with butter. The cheesecake is creamy and packed with pumpkin flavor. Then, of course there is the ganache. Thick, smooth chocolate that no one can resist. The combo of flavors works perfectly together! This would be a fabulous Halloween party dessert or save it for Thanksgiving dinner. Did I mention how easy these were to make? Simple, simple, simple! This makes an 8 inch pan but you can easily double the recipe below and bake it in a 9×13 pan for a larger portion. This way you can feed a crowd for the holidays!

    It’s amazing how well pumpkin and chocolate go together – they seem like an unlikely pairing at first. These cheesecake bars sound divine!

    I just made it this weekend. I was expecting more pumpkin flavor so I’d definitely recommend adding the optional pumpkin spice to it.. I love the chocolate on the top but had some guests recommend that I put dark chocolate on it next time. Definitely will be making this one again!
