Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.
- Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers (or crumbs) and pecans together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Add the sugar and melted butter and pulse until combined. Press tightly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking pan. Pre-bake crust for 12 minutes. Leave oven on.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or simply using a whisk) beat/whisk all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour into warm crust.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. Remove from the oven, set on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely. Once cool, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Remove chilled bars from the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. Bars are best served chilled.
- Top with whipped cream and chopped pecans, if desired. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, measure and prep all ingredients. Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing. Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling. Chop walnuts if needed.
- Grease Your Pan: Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough bars. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. Overbeating can also cause the bars to be too dense.
- Properly Measure Flour: Use the spoon and level method to accurately measure the flour. Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag, as this can lead to too much flour being incorporated.
- Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the bars while baking. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Use a toothpick inserted into the center to check for doneness. It should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cooling and Cutting: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart. Use a sharp knife to make clean, even cuts.
