Overall, these bars were a good dessert. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the frosting. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these bars are so good that I've changed my mind. They're moist and flavorful, and the frosting is to die for.
