Quite good - moist & flavourful! I do agree with the first reviewer, though - more cake than bar-like. And, it makes piles & piles of frosting - 1/2 the amount would probably work well. I served at Sewing Circle & it was well-received although most were convinced it was carrot cake not pumpkin bars - lol!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
