- 1/4 cup Dark brown sugar

Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang to use as handles to lift the bars out with ease.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, dark brown sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Cheesecake Layer
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla, mix well. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Pour 2/3 of the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust, smooth it out in an even layer. Set aside.
Pumpkin Layer
- Add the pumpkin puree to the remaining cheesecake batter and mix until combine. Add the dark brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake layer and carefully smooth the top.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is set but slightly jiggly in the very center. Do not overbake.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate. Overnight is best, but at least a minimum of 4 hours.
