Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Ah Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks and to be with family & friends and FOOD! This year, it's a potluck Thanksgiving and guess who's in charge of dessert? I love chocolate, cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Why not have all three?....in ONE BAR! This recipe was adapted from Martha Stewart and it's incredibly decadent. It has the richness from the cream cheese and the sweetness from the semi-sweet chocolate swirls. It also has the warmth from the pure pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. If Thanksgiving tasted like a dessert it would be these Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars! Here's how I made them. You'll Need: For the Crust 20 chocolate graham crackers 2 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted For the Filling 2 packages bar cream cheese (8 ounces each) 1 cup sugar 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin puree 3 large eggs 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350
