If you love pumpkin bars, you will love the flavors in this recipe. Its has all the flavors of Fall and makes a great snack or dessert! The frosting firms up nicely without refrigeration. This is a great gift idea when baked in smaller trays for the holiday season. Read more I slice mine into long "finger-styled" bars or small squares. This is a tried and true family favorite and I hope that you'll try making them at least once. They're delicious! See less
