Pumpkin Carrot Cream Cheese Bars image

Yum! These pumpkin bars are melt in your mouth good. What makes these a bit different is not only the addition of carrots but the thin layer of cheesecake-like topping. The spices are balanced perfectly in this delicious fall dessert. This will be great after a meal as a snack with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but these bars were delicious! The carrot and cream cheese filling really make them special. I'll definitely be making these again for Thanksgiving.

Overall, I thought these bars were good, but not great. They were a little dry and the cream cheese filling was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out perfect. My kids loved them and they disappeared quickly.
