Steps:
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind graham crackers in processor. Mix in sugar. Add butter; mix to blend. Press onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Bake until light brown around edges, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
- For filling:
- Whisk first 9 ingredients in medium bowl. Slightly soften ice cream in microwave in 10-second intervals. Measure 1 cup ice cream; cover and freeze (reserve for another use). Spoon remaining ice cream into large bowl. Working quickly, add pumpkin mixture and fold just until swirled into ice cream (do not blend completely). If ice cream begins to melt, freeze until almost firm. Spoon ice cream filling into cooled crust, cover with plastic, and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.
- For bark, sauce, and topping:
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray. Stir chocolate in bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Pour onto baking sheet. Using offset spatula, spread chocolate in even layer into 12x9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with nuts. Place in freezer until hard, at least 30 minutes. Invert onto work surface. Peel off paper. Coarsely chop. Place DO AHEAD: Chocolate-almond bark can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.
- Bring brown sugar, corn syrup, 3 tablespoons water, and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and boil until dark brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Carefully stir in 1/2 cup cream, vanilla, and salt (mixture will bubble vigorously). Boil 1 minute longer. Cool slightly. DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.
- Using electric mixer, beat 1 1/2 cups cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until peaks form. Spoon decoratively over pie. Sprinkle chocolate-almond bark over. Cut pie into wedges and serve, passing warm sauce alongside.
CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN BARK
I became utterly addicted to this pumpkin bark that appears at Whole Foods in the fall, but it's quite expensive so I wanted to try making my own version at home. It's a little time-consuming but delicious, and far cheaper! Would be a hit at fall parties. The spicing is really dependent on how much you want the pumpkin to stand out, 1-2 teaspoons is what I prefer. Dark chocolate would also work nicely in this but milk chocolate makes for rich bark that pairs well with the pumpkin. The kind I buy at the store has no crunchy bits in it, the fixings were my idea, but it's delicious both crunchy and smooth! Cook time is both the stovetop and chill times. Yields about 1.5-2 lbs. EDIT: Fixed due to typo-- should be 1/2 cup pumpkin or a bit less, the melted white chocolate should still have the same consistency as melted chocolate. I made this again using an 11 x 7 pan which I liked better.

Steps:
- Line a 9 x 13 (or 11 x 7) dish with wax paper or parchment paper. In a double boiler (or my ghetto way of filling a pot with water then putting a metal bowl over the top of it) place the milk chocolate chips inside, until nearly fully melted (should be about 5 minutes or less) and pour into the pan evenly.
- Clean out the metal bowl/top part of the double boiler and melt the white chocolate chips, blending with the pumpkin and spice.
- Pour into the pan and stir up here and there with a fork to create a marbled look and mix it up a little.
- I prefer to leave the bark smooth but if you want to add the crunchy fixins like the pumpkin seeds, nuts, oats, etc. sprinkle them on now and press some of them into the bark with a fork if you like.
- Place the pan in the fridge and chill until completely firm, I play it safe and leave it in a couple hours.
- Extract the bark from the pan once it's fully set, and break up into random pieces (always fun) or for a more professional appearance, cut with a large sharp knife, keep covered and chilled until ready to serve but trust me, this will barely last leaving your house en route to the fall parties!

Tips:
- Fresh Pumpkin Is Ideal: If you can get fresh pumpkin, use it for the pumpkin puree instead of canned. It will give your bark a richer, more intense flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Chocolate: When you melt the chocolate, be careful not to overheat it. Overcooked chocolate can seize and become grainy.
- Use Good Quality Chocolate: The better the quality of chocolate you use, the better your bark will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Before the chocolate hardens, you can add your favorite toppings to the bark. Some popular choices include chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy pieces, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Chill the Bark Properly: Once you've added your toppings, chill the bark in the refrigerator until it's completely hardened. This will help it to set and make it easier to break into pieces.
Conclusion:
Chocolate pumpkin bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and the slightly sweet, pumpkin flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this chocolate pumpkin bark a try. You won't be disappointed!
