Gingerbread Pumpkin Cake Bars
""Deep and dark" Gingerbread cake mix, mixed with canned pumpkin, and cut into small bars. Our recommended mix is "Trader Joe's Deep Dark Gingerbread Cake and Baking Mix with Molasses and Ginger". We made up the recipe, but got most of the directions from The Trader Joe Cake Mix box. Basically, we just added the canned pumpkin. Well hope you try it out, and like it! They're GREAT for Thanksgiving. By the way, DO NOT REFRIGERATE! They will grow mold."
