Pumpkin Bar

Perfect for the holidays with Christmas coming up, this recipe is not only easy, it is absolutely delicious too. I came across this recipe on TikTok. I had a big can of pumpkin pie mix that definitely needed to be used up. So I used double the pumpkin mix. The result is an even smoother, softer, spongier pie. Of course, the cooking time had to be adjusted from 10 mins to 25 mins.
