This was so moist and the taste was perfect. I took them to a kids football party in the fall and put a candy pumpkin on eash slice then arranged on a platter. Everyone loved them, and was aking all night who made these? I wouldn't change a thing it's a keeper.

This recipe was fantastic! I made it for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit! They were gone so fast! I think it does have a typo in the recipe, i read a review from another user and they said they used teaspoon instead of tablespoon for baking powder and baking soda, and thats what i used and they came out perfect, they were just like brownies. Moist and cake-like, but sooo good!! Icing too! They were so simple! It was kind of a last minute thing and i was worried they would be complicated and take long, but very simple! DEFINITELY WILL MKE AGAIN! THANKS!

Delicious! I made this for Christmas and my family loved it. My husband even took the leftovers to work. There is a baking powder/soda after taste so next time I'm going to follow one of the recommendations from one of the reviews above.

I made this recipe and brought it to school to share with my middle school students and the other teachers. All the students LOVED these bars, and the teachers did, too. Everyone said they were delicious.

I found these to be very good. I brought them to a potluck to work and everyone (who likes pumpkin) really enjoyed them and were asking me for the recipe!

This recipe has no taste. Granted I should have read the reviews about the baking soda and baking powder errors before baking, but when you have to make so many changes to a recipe to make it worth while, you might as well create your own or use another recipe. It tasted like a moist sponge. Don't waste your frosting!

Fantastic! Few changes: Used 1 c brown sugar and 1 c white. Used 1/2 c veg oil and 1/2 c evaporated milk. 1 1/2 tspn cinnamon, 1 tspn nutmeg, and 1 tspn ginger. Also, teaspoons on the baking soda and powder as well. I also made a gram cracker crust for the bottom just to add a little something special. They were so fluffy and moist! Rave reviews from friends and family! Definitely a keeper.

This recipe was not what I hopped it would be. Im sure I followed the direstions to the t but when it was in the oven it overflowed all over my oven and I had to throw it away. Mabey the baking powder and baking soda measurments arent right.

The taste of Baking Powder & Soda was over the top. Terrible. There is a much better recipe with only a teaspoon of it--where this recipe calls for a tabelspoon.

I love these bars. I decided to use 1 c. white sugar and 1 c. brown sugar instead of the 2 c. white sugar in the recipe. It turned out great. I like the depth of flavor the brown sugar added to it. Thank you Amy.

These are ridiculously good! However, they are definitely more like a cake than a bar. A couple of comments: 1) After reading the other reviews, I added more pumpkin than was called for to give it a bit more pumpkin flavor. 2) I think the frosting is what really puts this recipe over the top - it is fantastic!

The bars tasted great. I read the previous reviews and changed the baking powder and baking soda amounts to teaspoons instead of tablespoons. I baked the bars in a sheet cake pan and they came out very moist. Since I was out of vanilla, I added some orange extract to the icing recipe. The orange flavoring was the perfect touch!

Brought these bars to a potluck and everyone loved them - actually most thought they were carrot cake! They are very moist - more cakelike than bars. Next time I make them I will make sure I use a larger pan - I used a 11x13 pan and it produced a more cakelike size. Still all loved the cream cheese frosting and they disappeared fast!

this recipe is similar to one I got out of a better homes and garden cook book except the seasoning. there should only be 2 tsp of baking soda and powder. Not tbsp. I also cheated and used a can of cream cheese frosting and It was great. The spices really added something to this receipe.

YUM! I wish there was a little more 'pumpkin' flavor, but they were yummy. I cut back on the confectioner's sugar to 4 cups because I like a more cream chees-y taste than a super sweet taste. We made them in mini loaf pans, frosted them and gave them as gifts.
