These were great, and yummy! And not only did they go over well with our guests, but also with my hubby's co-workers! I did omit the nuts, cuz I didnt have any around that I am not allergic to. Thanks a bunch! -
These were delicious!! I absolutely loved the texture of the bars--not cakey but not as dense as pumpkin pie. My sister thought it was a mousse! Very yummy and definitely a new seasonal favorite. Thanks for posting! -
These are indeed the best bars I have ever tasted. Better than pumpkin pie. We have been trying to figure out a locally sold barfor some time. I was so lucky to find yours. It's "the one". I just "love" zaar. I give you 10 stars!!! :-) -
Very easy recipe, I would say it's a pantry recipe. You could potentially have everything on hand and whip this up in a snap. I used walnuts in the cake/crust. Made it in a 9x13 pan. My husband loved it. I thought the cake crust was a little too thick and very sweet. I think next time I might leave about 1/2 cup or more of the crust mixture out to thin it up a bid. Otherwise, the pumpkin part came out beautiful.
