  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help ensure that your pumpkin spice bars turn out perfectly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will help ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pumpkin spice bars turn out perfectly every time.
