Tips: These spice bars had a great flavor if you enjoy the spices in pumpkin pie spice (I love them!). These did not bake up much but still had the consistency of cake. This might be due to the high altitude where I am so yours might be different. The frosting begins to harden quickly so be prepared to spread fast.
