Notes

I originally made these pumpkin bars in cooking class, junior high, some five years ago. My family and I have enjoyed them so much that I make them every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas as tradition, and through-out the year for a treat. Although I have lost the original recipe from my cooking class, I have compared other recipes for these pumpkin bars and came up with this one. I hope you enjoy them as much I do.
