Hey y'all I'm so excited to be here today!

I'm Mary the girl behind the blog Eat Drink & Be Mary.  The place where I share the "looks" that have shaped my life, how I struggle with patience, and of course recipes I have tried and LOVE.  But enough about me, and more about what I'm super excited to share with y'all today.

Toffee-Pumpkin Pie Bars

Yep, I'm one of those girls.  I'm a pumpkin-flavored anything fanatic; give me that and a iced coffee and I'm one happy white girl.  But really how can you blame me, iced coffee is absolutely delicious and pumpkin flavor is my jam.  And speaking of delicious and pumpkin-flavored...this week I'm sharing Toffee-Pumpkin Pie Bars.  Prepare to be in love with these little bars.

1/2 C chopped pecans, toasted

Caramel-flavor ice cream topping (optional)

Instructions:

+Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Lightly grease foil. Press the Ginger Crumb Crust (recipe found here) evenly and firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan;

 set aside.

+For filling, in a large bowl combine pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves. Add eggs; beat lightly with a fork until combined. Gradually add half-and-half; stir just until combined. Pour filling into crust-lined pan.

+Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle top with toffee pieces and pecans. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

+Using the edges of the foil, lift the uncut bars out of the pan. Cut into bars. Cover and chill within 2 hours. If desired, drizzle with caramel topping just before serving.
