I have a dairy allergy and needed to make some snacks for an adult party. Thinking there would be nothing else for me to eat there (and I was correct), I was excited when I stumbled upon the recipe. It was not a hit- no one who tried a bar ate more than a few bites because they were pretty disgusting. I am an intermediate level and avid baker so I can say with confidence that I followed the recipe to the letter. Prior to cooking the cake batter had a disgusting bitter aftertaste yet after baking the cake tasted moist and no longer bitter. It was nothing exceptional but it was fine. The disgusting part was the icing. It has an orange cough syrup taste and the shortening made it taste "off" and greasy. I would never make this again, I don't even know where to begin tweaking it. If you make, find another frosting recipe.

I love this recipe! I have made these bars every year since it appeared in the magazine, a few years ago. The orange frosting with the pumpkin is delicious. I always put the candy pumpkins on top - perfect for fall! If you like pumpkin, you will love these!
