PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS
These deliciously spiced, moist and rich-tasting
cake bars do not need a frosting, although they look pretty with the frosting,
I don’t think it is required. I
originally made this dessert with a cream cheese frosting, but I think a
sweeter frosting, like the Betty Crocker Frosting (link given below) would be even better
and would complement the wonderfully-spiced cake bars.
