I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these bars were surprisingly good! The cream cheese filling is the perfect complement to the pumpkin.

The bars were a little dry. I think I should have added more pumpkin puree to the batter.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by half next time.

I added some chopped pecans to the batter for a little extra crunch. They were a great addition!
