Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oven to 350° f.
Step 2
Cover a 13x9-inch pan with aluminum foil, letting it extend over the edges ( for ease of lifting out of the pan). Spray the foil with some cooking spray.
Step 3
Get out a medium bowl. Add the crushed ginger snaps and the 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix together.
Step 4
Add the melted butter. Stir it in.
Step 5
With your hands, pat this into the bottom of the baking pan.
Step 6
Put the cream cheese into a large bowl. With your mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth.
Step 7
Add the eggs one at a time. Beat on low after adding each one.
Step 8
Add pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Beat everything together.
Step 9
Spoon the filling over the crust.
Step 10
Bake this for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should be puffed and the filling just set in the center. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 11
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top, if desired. Cover the bars and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
Step 12
After it's chilled, take uncut bars out of the pan by holding the foil. Place on a cutting board and cut it into bars.
