Pumpkin Bars

I have these bars on my website but felt I also must include them here because they are a perfect autumn treat for large gatherings. This recipe is similar to most pumpkin bar or cake recipes found in old cookbooks, but I’ve tweaked it over the years to include some maple syrup and a little more salt. I like how these bars bake up thin, and I find they have the perfect cake-to-icing ratio. I also love them cold, straight from the fridge.
