Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Can substitute with butternut squash puree if needed.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Substitute with dark brown sugar for richer flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar No direct substitutes needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Pumpkin pie spice works for a more pronounced taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1 large Egg A flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) is a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps bars rise slightly, creating a light texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
For the Fillings
  • 2 bars Hershey Bars (chopped) Any chocolate bar or chips can be substituted.
  • 1 cup Graham Crackers (chopped) Digestive biscuits can replace for a similar taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Mix in cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and flour until just combined.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped Hershey Bars, graham cracker pieces, and mini marshmallows over the base layer. Dollop the Marshmallow Fluff on top.
  5. Carefully spoon the remaining pumpkin batter over the marshmallow mixture, covering it completely.
  6. Freeze the assembled dish for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Bake the Pumpkin S'mores Bars for approximately 28-30 minutes until golden brown and set.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
