CHOCOLATE-PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE BARS
I created this by taking my favorite cheesecake brownie recipe, which is about 40 years old, and kicking it up with pumpkin and spices. These will disappear fast, so consider doubling the recipe. -Judy Castranova, New Bern, North Carolina

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Set aside.
- In a food processor, blend cookies with sugar until finely ground (you should have about 1 cup crumbs); add butter, and pulse until moistened.
- Transfer crumb mixture to prepared pan, and press gently into bottom. Bake until fragrant and slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place cream cheese in food processor; blend until smooth. Add sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, flour, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt; process until combined. Set aside.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Add 1 cup pumpkin mixture; stir to combine. Set aside.
- Pour remaining pumpkin mixture into prepared pan. Drop dollops of chocolate mixture onto pumpkin mixture; swirl. Bake until cheesecake is set but jiggles slightly when gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Cool in pan. Cover; chill until firm, at least 2 hours (and up to 2 days). Using overhang, transfer cake to work surface. With a knife dipped in water, cut into 16 squares. Serve.

Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these bars, so it's important to use a chocolate that you love the taste of. A high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give you the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cheesecake bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. The bars should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
- Chill the bars before serving. Chilling the bars for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help them to set and firm up.
- Decorate the bars with your favorite toppings. You can top the bars with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts.
