This is another one of the terrific recipes from the forums at Mommysavers.com (Pumpkin Bars via Mommy2Mercedes). I made it last week and it was delicious. I ate a whole row myself, and brought some to the neighbors. However, at one point I forgot to cover the bars and my husband came home to find the bars that were remaining had no more frosting. Our cats had licked it off! (Gross, I know…. and such a terrible waste of good food!)
