PUMPKIN PIE BARS … everyone will want s’more.

Three things in life that are always delicious are pumpkin pie, s’mores, and Oreos. Put those hands together and dessert just went from “good” to “holy shit, wow!” I developed this black and orange recipe with Halloween in mind but it is for sure an epic win any time in the Fall—hello Thanksgiving. If you’re hosting friends for dinner, make these bars a day early and refrigerate them overnight. They look really beautiful when placed down on a table in front of a group of people.

NOTE. Even when cold and more solidified, this is an ooey gooey dessert. If you’re considering traveling with it, I would cut it on-site. That said, with the marshmallows on top, it is still kinda messy to cut. To be clear, I’m not telling you not to do it, I simply want you to be prepared!

TIP. When cutting your bars, use a sharp knife and then wash it with warm water and wipe it dry between cuts. This is how I maintained a clean marshmallow-free edge.
