  Like pumpkin pie, but so much easier! Made with a graham cracker and
  toasty pecan crust, these easy creamy pumpkin bars are irresistible.
  
  Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x13" baking pan with
  parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove
  the bars from the pan. Set aside.
  
  Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers (or crumbs) and
  pecans together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Add
  the sugar and melted butter and pulse until combined. Press tightly
  into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking pan. Pre-bake
  crust for 12 minutes. Leave oven on.
  
   Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or
  simply using a whisk) beat/whisk all of the filling ingredients
  together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour into warm crust.
  
  Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly.
  Remove from the oven, set on a wire rack, and allow to cool
  completely. Once cool, cover and place in the refrigerator for at
  least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Remove chilled bars from the pan using
  the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. Bars are best served
  chilled.
  
  Top with whipped cream and chopped pecans, if desired. Cover and store
  leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
