You know the fancy pumpkin roll that looks like only a baker could make it? Did you know you can make them in a pan?! Well, you can.
This is a super easy and standard Pumpkin Bar Recipe what anyone can make. My kids made this last night with me and I really didn’t do anything but supervise. Because I am good at that, oh, and did the dishes of course. For some reason everyone skedaddles when the dishes are up.
The colors are wonky on my picture because I used Instagram, but that is the only photo I got as they were all gone before I could get a good picture.
Just some advice…. Make something with Pumpkin this week. It will make you happy. I promise. Something about the fall and pumpkin makes you smile. 
Easy Pumpkin Bar Recipe
