Spiced Pumpkin Bars image

These are called bars but I always make it like a cake and slice it into pieces. When I take this to gatherings, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, I always get rave reviews and always come back home with the tray empty. I found this recipe on MSN about five years ago and the recipe is credited to Better Homes and Gardens. This recipe is also really easy to cut in half to make a family-sized dessert.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These bars were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use less flour next time.
