For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the crust. To prevent the walnuts from burning, you can lightly toast them before adding them to the top of the cheesecake. For a smoother cheesecake filling, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
