Good. Wanting more a bar rather than a cake, I took the advice of other reviewers and omitted one egg and halved the baking powder and baking soda. I also added 1/2 tsp. of cloves and 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg. The end result was good but not what I would consider a "bar." Fiance said this reminded him of an unrolled pumpkin roll, and I agree.

I'm giving this 5 stars because everyone who tried them loved them. I took them to a holiday party, and everyone raved about them! However, I had one right after I made them, and then another during the party, and each time I felt like I just dropped a lead brick in my stomach. Not sure why, and I probably won't make them again, but, like I said, everyone else loved them. They are very easy to make, so I would suggest trying them out for yourself.

If you're looking to make actual "bars" don't use this recipe. If you want to make an incredibly delicious pumpkin cake, you'd be crazy not to try it - it's sooooo good! The second time around I halved the recipe, then added some nutmeg and ginger. I also didn't make as much icing as it called for bc I thought it was a tad too sweet with the original amount.

Yummy! Very moist. I only used 1 1/2 cups of sugar to make the icing, and then I only used about 1/2 of the icing and that was enough for my family. Next time, I'll scale the icing part down & reduce the sugar again.

I made it as suggested with one less egg and half the baking powder and baking soda... It turned out really good, really yummy. I thought the frosting was a little too running though, and will try to thicken it next time I make it.

For some reason these pumpkins bars just didnt do it for me. They didnt have enough pumpkin flavor and for whatever reason i thought they were a bit dry. I made them as written but did have to add some extra spices and i am so glad i did because otherwise they would have been way too bland. I was really hoping these would be super dense and really pumpkiny. Thanks anyway for the recipe!! UPDATE: These were way better the next day- for that reason i am going to up my rating to 4 stars!!

It's true that this is more of a cake than bars but its perfect. I made it in a 9 by 13 cake pan and baked for 35 min. I also added 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg. So delicious that the whole cake was gone in just an hour. The icing is good but the cake tastes great by itself also.

LOVE THIS RECIPE! Wow. I did 3 eggs instead of 4 (like other posters had mentioned) and added dashes of nutmeg and cloves to the mix. I made it in a cake pan and also cupcakes. I could see chocolate chips or raisins going really well in this recipe also. I might try that next time.

Good. Great the next time, with 3 eggs instead of 4 and 30 ounces of Libby's pumbkin pie filling instead of the puree i also suggest you use Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe instead of this frosting version.

These bars are fabulous! They are very simple to make, don't have a long list of ingredients, and are not too sweet. I substituted splenda for the sugar and added 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice thanks to previous reviews, but other than that it was great as is. My husband keeps going back to the pan to "even out" the row! Yum, yum, yum! Thanks for a great recipe!

Yummy!

Followed others suggestions and cut down to only 3 eggs and added 1 1/2 t. vanilla and used the cream cheese frosting recipe on the web site. My husband said that these were the best bars that I have made in a long while. Definate keeper!!!

Fabulous! I actually followed the directions from reviewer 'ilstu99' posted underneath the recipe. Even with her changes it is still a cake; not a bar. But SO good! I did follow the original recipe for the cream cheese frosting. This was the best frosting I have ever had! Excellent cake! I will be making this again for sure!

Everyone I know loves these bars. Great recipe!

These pumpkin bars are wonderful. Very moist! They turned out great.

Excellent bars. I made two batches in a week at deer hunting time the guys loved em.

I followed Circekitty's directions (and added a bit of nutmeg) and this turned out perfectly! Not overly sweet, but very flavorful.

I absolutely love pumpkin bars and have tried several recipes. This one is by far the best. I prefer more frosting so I double the frosting recipe by doubling all ingredients and using an 8 oz block of cream cheese. This recipe also fits nicely in a bar pan. Some of the others I tried were too much or too little.

Very good, but not a bar. it is more like pumpkin cake. Just go into it know that, and you will be thrilled. very easy and very good!!!

This recipe is okay. Instead of 4 eggs I only used 2. I only used 1/2 c. of oil instead of 1 c. They still came out very moist. Added 1 tsp. all spice in place of 1 tsp. cinnamon. Next time I will add another tsp. all spice to make them spicy.
