not bars at all

I love pumpkin and carrot, so I was really excited to find this recipe. However, I was kind of disappointed by the results. The recipe called for more baking powder and baking soda than I have ever used and I thought the result was cake-like and slightly chalky. I also think they could have used more cream cheese.

Tasty and full of flavor

These are a real treat. They are also full of anti-oxidants,a healthy bonus.

Great recipe!

These are great. There are 3 of us in our home and we had no problem with how to store them, 1 day and they were gone!

Yum Yum!

This is a family favorite. I'd reccomend these to anyone. I do, however, bake it in a 9"x13" glass Pyrex and increase the baking time so it is more of a brownie/cake. Great after school snack and I don't feel bad tossing one in her lunch bag.
