What could be more appropriate for a Halloween treat than Pumpkin Bars? Actually, they're a hit with my family anytime of the year.

We love anything made with pumpkin at my house. I made these bars, added a tablespoon of molasses and a teaspoon of vanilla. So good. The kids will have a great treat after school today!!

Taste great, but turned out to be a cake. The only thing I can think thata I did wrong was used too small of a pan.

I made these last night, for the 1st time and my kids wouldn't go to bed without trying them. I took them to the school for a teacher's luncheon and they were gone! I received so many compliments and requests for the recipe. Now my kids want me to make more! This will become one of our regular recipes, it is fabulous!

Delicious! Used a whole bar of cream cheese as others suggested, perfect that way! Everyone raved over how moist it was....lots of recipe requests! Will definitely be making again.

I am so happy that I picked this pumpkin recipe to try with my fiance. Very easy to make and I even took other's advice and added nutmeg and allspice. We even had to stop ourselves from eating all of the cream cheese frosting right out of the bowl. This pumpkin treat is the perfect compliment to any Fall Sunday.

This recipe is really delicious but also a favorite because it uses one whole can of canned pumpkin!

These are my family's favorite pumpkin bars! They are very easy to make, plus they use an entire can of pumpkin. (I like that because I end up wasting pumpkin when the recipe only calls for part of a can.) The icing is easy to make and not overly sweet. Definitely a keeper!
