Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and eggs until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the flour to the pumpkin mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  7. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can also add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust or pumpkin layer.
