I found these bars from Libby's to be an ordinary pumpkin bar with a fabulous frosting. The bars are made with butter and I think I like the Hub's pumpkin-spice bars, made with vegetable oil, better. But the frosting is another story. I had to go to four stores to find maple flavoring, but it was worth it for me. The frosting tastes exactly like that found on maple bars, a donut I loved as a kid and even though I choose not to eat them anymore, is still my all-time favorite. And I don't really know why I'm being so saintly about donuts, I eat plenty of other junk that isn't very good for me. The Hub was not a fan of the frosting, but still did his part to put away a pan of these in a couple of days.
We still eat Maple Bars in this house and I think my kids (and the Rog) would LOVE these!
