  1. I dont' remember when I started using this recipe. but I do know I quit making pumpkin pies when I found this recipe and my family was okay with that as they liked these bars just as much They are much less work. We always have these on thanksgiving and of course other times as well. I was looking for recipes to share and found this in an old recipe box still on the page torn from a Farm Journal magazine. The Date it was published is not on the page.
