In a last stitch effort to make seasonal goodies, I made Paula Deen's ooey gooey pumpkin bars. I have to admit that I have made these before, but under the guidance of my amazing chef aunt Tricia. I wanted to attempt this dish on my own (plus I love these things!) I made the recipe as directed with a small addition: Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chunks. Thank you Aunt Tricia for this neccessary modification! What's dessert without a little chocolate?? Aunt Tricia has also made this recipe with spice cake mix rather than the yellow cake mix that Paula Deen calls for, but I used yellow cake mix this time. There are many different modifications to this recipe, some that Paula Deen posts on the Food Network site, but my favorite is one that my aunt has done. She made the traditional ooey gooey bars (yellow cake mix and plain cream cheese filling) but added Health Bar toffee bits. AMAZING! That's just one idea, but there is a modification for everybody (peanut butter, pineapple, etc). Here is a picture of the deliciousness and the link to the recipe:

I would say I did a pretty good job, no? (They tasted delicious if I do say so myself...:) ) It's too bad Megan doesn't really like pumpkin... but I think she was able to appreciate the success of the dish regardless of her taste preferences.
