Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh. If you're using canned pumpkin puree, make sure it's unsweetened.
- Add a little bit of spice to your pumpkin bars with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of cloves or allspice for a more complex flavor.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 8x8 inch pan instead. Just reduce the baking time by about 5 minutes.
- Let the pumpkin bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you're making the cream cheese frosting, be sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
- You can decorate the pumpkin bars with a variety of toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
