Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients for bars until well blended.
- 2. Pour into greased 9x13 pan.
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
- 4. Remove to cooling racks until completely cool, then frost with cream cheese frosting.
- 5. For frosting: mix well with blender until creamy (at least 3 minutes). If too thick, thin with more orange juice or milk until you get a good, spreadable consistency.
Tips:
- To ensure the bars are cooked evenly, make sure the oven temperature is accurate. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature before baking.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting and mashing a pumpkin, or you can buy it canned.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- For a chewier bar, use chopped nuts. For a crunchier bar, use whole nuts.
- Be sure to grease the baking pan well to prevent the bars from sticking.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
