Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then blending it until smooth.
  • If you don't have any pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a tender and moist bar.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin harvest bars are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a party or simply looking for a sweet snack, these bars are sure to be a hit.
