Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan.

Combine flour, oats, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips. Reserve 2 1/2 cups for the topping. Press the rest of the remaining mixture in the bottom of the baking pan.

In a mixer bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt and pumpkin. Mix until smooth. Pour the mixture over the crust. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Slice into bars and enjoy.

P.S. We could not wait until they were completely cool. They were divine warm!
