Notes

Due to the pumpkin in this recipe, the bars should be stored in the fridge. 
Everything in these bars just works. If you don’t like butterscotch you can substitute regular chocolate chips, chocolate and pumpkin work wonderfully together. 
There is a slight crunch from the toffee and the pecans, these are the perfect fall treat!
