PUMPKIN RAISIN BARS

PUMPKIN RAISIN BARS image

These bars smell so good when baking because of the spices. This was a cake and I changed it over to make bars because I was looking for finger foods for a party. My Mom always made this cake around the Christmas Holidays because she said it made the house smell good.
