Pumpkin Bars

I finally got around to making pumpkin bars tonight! They turned out so nicely - I am very pleased. I managed to track down the right ingredients for my mother's recipe, mix everything up well, bake it nicely, and then frost it to the ultimate deliciousness! Sometimes things do turn out even when you're on a Caribbean island with expensive ingredients, limited supplies, and just a toaster oven : D.
