These delicious Pumpkin Bars are my favorite Thanksgiving dessert. There are three layers of scrumptious that start with a buttery yellow cake crust, then a filling of sweet pumpkin-pie-ish deliciousness, topped off with a yellow cake crumble.

Author's Notes

Yields around 20 bars.
For best results, chill for 2-3 hours before serving, but they are also good at room temperature.

FOR GLUTEN-FREE: choose a gluten-free boxed cake mix. FOR DAIRY FREE: use a vegan butter, such as Earth Balance. Also, use nondairy milk, such as almond milk.
