Pumpkin season is in full swing, and I have been baking up a storm with my five little helpers lately (ok, we do this on the regular, but now we do it with pumpkin!). Today’s recipe is a new take on an old favorite – with a twist! The original magic bars start with a graham cracker crust, but these magic bars start with a pumpkin spice blondie! And that’s only the beginning!
If you haven’t been around Back for Seconds long, let me fill you in on a little secret: I love bar desserts!! I wrote a cookbook dedicated to them ( get your copy of Brownies, Blondies, and Bars on sale here), and I just love how easy they are to make! It’s also really easy to take a basic bar recipe from simple to show stopping! I just can’t quit with the brownies, blondies, and bars. I hope you don’t mind!
There is some serious fall/holiday flavor going on in these magic bars. Pumpkin spice blondies topped with coconut, cinnamon chips, pecans, (I used walnuts in the ones pictured, but I prefer them with pecans. Use what you like best.) white chocolate, and the magic ingredient – condensed milk!
Chewy, gooey, pumpkin spice deliciousness! Enjoy!

I have made the pumpkin spice magic bars with chocolate chips also. They are delicious too. Thanks for the dark chocolate cranberry Magic Bar recipe. I can’t wait to try them.

Gonna try these….what’s not to LOVE??!!! I ordered cinnamon chips online when I couldn’t find them locally! Several purveyors on the internet, at reasonable prices. Thanks for sharing.

I have all of the ingredients but
Cinnamon Chips ! Where on Earth
can I find these ? I’ve looked every-
where.
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi Becky! I find them at Walmart, Target, and Meijer in the baking aisle. Hope you can find some 😊
Becky says
Hi Stephanie,
Finally found cinnamon chips at
a bakery/candy shop ! Our big
stores like Walmart, Kroger etc.
don’t seem to carry them anymore.
The bars are in my oven and the
aroma is fabulous!
Thank you so much for this recipe:) Becky
