These stay moist and delicious and almost caused an international incident when a lady took credit for baking them at the embassy when she really didn't.

Delicious! I made in an 8 1/2 x 11 baking dish; cut sugar back to 1 1/2 cups, used olive oil; fresh pumpkin; 2 eggs/2 eggbeaters; no raisins/used white chocolate chips. This recipe goes in my Favorites file. Thank you!

Delicious! I have made these twice and substituted chocolate chips for raisins - they were a hit and gone in an instant! Great flavor!.

Very good bar recipe. Easy and quick to make. Brought for a potluck and they were eaten quickly. Made second time and substituted chocolate chips instead of raisins which tasted even better!

Made these for a potluck at work. Very easy to do. The cake part was moist and tender. Just the right amount of cinnamon. Might increase the raisins to 2/3 cup next time. The cream cheese frosting was decadent. I did sift the powdered sugar and I didn't have a lumpiness problem. Thanks for sharing this recipe. My co-workers ate every crumb.
