"Another recipe from a former co-worker. These bars are delicious, but are certainly not for the diet-conscious (see version #2 for a more healthy option)! I have made them many times (both versions) and they are always a hit."

i tried a healthier version. less sugar, spelt flour and used just the whites of the eggs. they were good without the frosting. took them to a church potluck.

Made these for a Halloween treat in my children's classrooms at school. Added chocolate chips to the batter before baking and sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving. Yummy and everyone loved them - eve kids who said they "hated" pumpkin!

WOW! I love these! I substituted 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. I also used egg beaters instead of 4 whole eggs and they were outstanding.

Made these for a craving. Exactly what I was looking for. Used cream cheese frosting. Not for the diet minded. ;)

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
