I made this up over Christmas holiday when I was faced with a can of pumpkin and a cake mix to make a dessert. The results were delicious!

Wow! These bars were absolutely delicious! The pumpkin flavor was perfect and the nuts added a great texture. I'll definitely be making these again.

These bars were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

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

Delicious! I used pecans instead of walnuts and they were still amazing.

These pumpkin nut bars were a hit! They were moist, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of crunch from the walnuts. I'll definitely be making these again.
