Best bars ever!!! This is a great recipe that can have multi uses. I've made banana bars and sweet potato bars just by replacing the pumpkin.

Also from MN, these are the pumpkin bars we always made, yes on the back of the Festal pumpkin can. I always made them for family gatherings and my one cousin always said they were the best and they are.

Dianne (South Dakota) says:

I was living in Minnesota also and got my recipe off the Festal can. I have been making this for many, many years. I still have the original recipe but it is pretty much torn beyond repair so that is why I came here. The only thing is the cream cheese frosting is a little different.
Mine from the can calls for 6 ounces and 1 stick of butter while the one
here is 8 ounces cream cheese and 3/4 stick of butter. Hmmmm,now which should I make?
