Instructions

Chocolate Brownie Layer

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl and mix until fully combined.
Spread brownie mixture on the bottom of the pan evenly.

Pumpkin Layer

Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl and mix until fully combined.
Spread pumpkin mixture over the chocolate brownie layer evenly.

Chocolate Coating

Add all ingredients to a small pot on the stove.
Heat on low, stirring constantly until everything is melted and combined. Once everything has melted, turn off the heat immediately to avoid overheating.
To help prevent overheating, you can also melt your chocolate in a double boiler or a glass bowl inside of a pot of simmering water.
Poor the melted chocolate over the top of the pumpkin layer and spread evenly.
Place the pan in the fridge for 45 minutes to serve firm or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Alternatively, you can also serve warm if your child prefers everything melty and gooey.
To store, once the bars have firmed up in the fridge or freezer, cut into squares with a sharp knife and place into an airtight container, separating with parchment paper if you need to layer them on top of each other.
Store in the fridge for up to one week or the freezer for up to three weeks.

Notes

If you have trouble spreading the pumpkin layer on top of the chocolate, place the chocolate layer in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm it up before adding the pumpkin layer.
You can sub the peanut butter with your choice of other nut or seed butters.
