Harvest Pumpkin-Spice Bars image

Moist and delicious--with or without the frosting! It brings out all the flavours of an old-fashioned pumpkin pie; but so moist it melts in your mouth. These bars were a big hit at Thanksgiving parties.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The pumpkin spice flavor was nice and the streusel topping was a nice touch. I would make these again, but I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.

These bars were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I would make them again, but I would probably add more moisture to the batter.
