Quite literally the most delicious pumpkin dessert I've ever had. Each layer turned out perfectly and when topped with a little whipped cream these bars were to die for!

Loved this! I didn't use the pecans, and I couldn't find whipping cream, so I tried Cool Whip as a substitute, and it came out great! I also left off the chocolate topping, but still added the caramel. Overall, an excellent, rich autumn dessert that your guests will come back for seconds for!
