Sprinkle the mini cinnamon chips over the whole thing. Bake for approximately 90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, Cool and cut into 12-16 bars.

- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bars the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree. Just make sure to drain the pumpkin puree before using it.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
