Caramel Pumpkin Magic Bars have a Ritz and graham cracker crust and are filled with a creamy pumpkin layer, dark chocolate, coconut, and a drizzle of caramel!caramel-pumpkin-magic-bars-4

Ohhhhh Monday.

I was *thisclose* to posting some super healthy fall-inspired power/Buddha/nourish/whateveryawannacallem bowls today but then I remembered it’s Monday.

We need some butter, sugar, and caramel to get our week started, don’t ya think?  Oh and pumpkin. Because  we are just keeping that pumpkin train rolling here on g&c.  I guess when I get obsessed with something, it’s pretty obvious.

What is In Caramel Pumpkin Magic Bars?

These Caramel Pumpkin Magic Bars are really similar to those Seven Layer Magic Bars that are always devoured at family gatherings, except they are pumpkin-fied.  I mean, why not?  Therefore, I also drizzled it all up with caramel too because again, why not?  It is Monday, after all.

It just so happened to be one of the best decisions EVERRR.

Oh and also, the crust?  It’s made of graham crackers and Ritz crackers for a perfect balance of sweet and salty.  This came about from having not enough of their to make an entire crust so I thought, why not just put them together?  Another great decision, if I do say so myself.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope these bars make it a little bit more manageable.
