Amazing squares and easy recipe! I love pumpkin flavor anything and these aren't overpowering on the pumpkin...some people who ate them didn't realize that was the flavor. Perfect for non-believers :) For the reviewer below (Andree Sanborn), the recipe states using 1 cup of pumpkin puree.
What size can of pumpkin is used? I'm finding a few recipes incomplete like this. Also, please, Martha: Please respond to your commenters!
These are so delicious! I was impressed at how fluffy the mixture was and how evenly it baked. Great to bring in fall!
These are unbelievably delicious! Very easy to make too. They were gobbled up very quickly and everybody loved them!
I've made these a number of times; I first saw it in Everyday Food as well. I can't stop eating them and neither can anyone else! It's a great twist and substitute on pumpkin pie, and with canned pumpkin, you can make it anytime of year. I'll probably make them for the office luncheon again this year. I hope I can save some for the rest of the attendees!
We've been making these yummy bars since they were first published in EF a few years ago. We prefer white chocolate chips in place of the chocolate. So easy and tasty along with hot soup on a cool, windy fall day.
This is a family favorite! I've made these bars many times and they always get gobbled up.
I followed the directions except I forgot to put the pumpkin in until the flour had been added. This was delicious...it will become a family favorite...5 stars for sure!
This recipe needs to be put in a 10X15 in jelly roll pan if you want BARS. It was way too much dough in a 9X13 unless you want it thick like a cake.
This recipe needs more sugar. I usually like less sugar in recipes. I would give this a 2 out of 5.
has anyone tried freezing these and eating at a later date? i was wondering if they were just a as most.
I love this recipe and I always make them for my holiday goodie bags that I give to family and friends. Everyone loves them! I make sure to use the freshest pumpkin pie spice for great flavor. One time I made the mistake of using pumpkin pie filling in the recipe, but my fiancee likes that gooey, fudge-like version even better! It doesn't hold up well in goodie bags, but It's really good over ice cream :)
Took them to work and everyone loved them. I put a dollop of whip cream on each square which worked out well. Had to pass out the recipe to a few people. Excellent!!
My family really enjoyed these, and they were super easy to make! Also good with milk chocolate chips.
I love these they are so easy to make. I add extra ginger

I make this every year. My Teen Daughter loves this recipe. I made this for school and it didn't last. The cake is so moist that it is hard to cut with a knife, but well worth it. One of my favorites!
I agree with some of the other comments that there are too many chocolate chips in this recipe. They turned out almost too moist as well. I think I'll try it again with less chips and less butter. The great combination and delicioius flavor is worth tweaking the ingredients for a better outcome.
Mine had a great blondie-type of consistency- dense and moist, not cakey at all. However, I thought there were way too many chocolate chips, we could hardly taste the pumpkin over the chocolate. I'm going to try again with white chocolate chips, and cut it by half.
Thanks for everyone else's suggestions, especially about adding wheat flour or applesauce!
The batter is delicious too!! I use milk chocolate morsels. I make this every fall -- it's a keeper!
I cut this recipe in half and put it in a 8x8 pan. Still came out fantastic! The pumpkin and chocolate flavor is perfectly balanced. This one's a keeper!
Is there a substitute for the 2 sticks of butter? Yowser!

we made these for a halloween party we hosted and thanksgiving...everybody devoured them. they were AMAZING...we couldn't stop eating them. great recipe. very moist and delicious. only con is that i couldn't find pumpkin pie spice so we used apple pie spice, but they turned out fantastic none the less.
Took njcp's advice... I cut out half a stick of butter and a quarter cup of sugar and added a half cup of apple suace. Success! A little less fat and a little less sugar, but still really moist and delicious. I will keep this 'fall' recipe!
I don't know - I could only taste chocolate chips in mine. No pumpkin, spice or anything else. I won't be making this again.
Be careful is you are using the spices from the note. The recipe calls for 1 Tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of pumpkin pie spice, but the alternate spices in the note add up to 3 3/4 teaspoons. That's a lot more than 1 Tablespoon. I think there's a missprint, and the nutmeg, allspice and cloves should each be 1/4 teaspoons.
Not sure what happened. I think they were too greasy with so much butter. I'll try using 1 1/3 sticks next time. They have great potential!
These are great! They are more cakey than I thought but they are very moist and have a great chocolate and pumpkin flavor. I received a lot of compliments!
Try making these with half whole wheat pastry flour for a healthier treat. I also like to make as muffins or mini-muffins.
These were delicious. I was thinking they would have more of a "blondie" consistency, but they are very cakey. My husband took them to work and he said everyone RAVED about them.
I love pumpkin, and this is a fun way to have it any time of year. A great alternative to pumpkin pie, my kids love helping to make it and they help eat it too. Yum!
this is one of my favorite recipes, especially around the holidays. i also like to add about 1.5 cups of chopped walnuts.
I made these for thanksgiving and they went so fast, I didn't even get one!!!!!!!!!
As a newlywed learning how to bake from scratch, this recipe was my first shot at baking and it turned out fantastic! This will probably end up as a staple in our household.
Made these last year and they were devoured in minutes. These are definitely part of my holiday baking from now on.
I love this recipe -- I bring it to every family function. The kids devour it!
