These are called bars but I always make it like a cake and slice it into pieces. When I take this to gatherings, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, I always get rave reviews and always come back home with the tray empty. I found this recipe on MSN about five years ago and the recipe is credited to Better Homes and Gardens. This recipe is also really easy to cut in half to make a family-sized dessert.

[email protected]The pumpkin flavor is subtle, but it's there. I think these bars would be even better with a little extra pumpkin pie spice.
