Chocolate Pumpkin Bark Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray, then line with parchment paper and grease again lightly.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, McCormick® Ground Nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Mix in the egg and vanilla, then blend in the pumpkin purée until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
• Fold in all but 3 tablespoons of the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 3 tablespoons chocolate chips.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan, then use the parchment to lift out the bars and cut into 15 squares.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Line a 9 x 13 (or 11 x 7) dish with wax paper or parchment paper. In a double boiler (or my ghetto way of filling a pot with water then putting a metal bowl over the top of it) place the milk chocolate chips inside, until nearly fully melted (should be about 5 minutes or less) and pour into the pan evenly.
• Clean out the metal bowl/top part of the double boiler and melt the white chocolate chips, blending with the pumpkin and spice.
• Pour into the pan and stir up here and there with a fork to create a marbled look and mix it up a little.
• I prefer to leave the bark smooth but if you want to add the crunchy fixins like the pumpkin seeds, nuts, oats, etc. sprinkle them on now and press some of them into the bark with a fork if you like.
• Place the pan in the fridge and chill until completely firm, I play it safe and leave it in a couple hours.
• Extract the bark from the pan once it's fully set, and break up into random pieces (always fun) or for a more professional appearance, cut with a large sharp knife, keep covered and chilled until ready to serve but trust me, this will barely last leaving your house en route to the fall parties!

Steps:

• Melt chocolate according to package directions. In a small bowl, mix spices, pumpkin butter and vanilla together. Stir in pecans. Add to melted chocolate and stir until well mixed. Turn out on a buttered marble slab or cookie sheet lined with buttered aluminum foil. Chill until firm - cut into pieces.
