Awesome! I made these for my nephew's graduation party and they were gone in an instant! I don't care for carrot cake myself but found these bars irristable. Thank you Michelle-this recipe has a permanent place in my book

this really didn't taste too much like carrot cake. maybe another jar of carrots or even adding some shredded carrots plus some more spices (maybe even using pumpkin pie spice) would have helped.

Made these last night to give to a friend for Valentine's Day. I did add the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and also added just a little more cinnamon than the recipe calls for. VERY MOIST,VERY TASTY and my son who HATES carrots ate 3 pieces. That say's something about it right there! THANKS MICHELLE FOR A GREAT RECIPE! This will be a favorite at my house for a long time.
