Growing up I never did like pumpkin pie, not sure why. I like it now...I also love pumpkin bars, YUM. My friend Kacey and I are dabbling in baking, we got together last Tuesday to make some cupcakes and cookies. My neighbor gave me this recipe for pumpkin bars they are delicious and easy to make! They are not too "pumpkinny" they are more like a cake than a bar, if that sways anyone's opinion ;)
I am going to try and share some great easy recipes every once and a while. So here is my first!
