Both times the ingredients spilled over in the oven and made a mess. The kids didn't complain at the school lunch I brought the first batch to nor did the ballet school bake sale patrons, they were tasty. But, whatever am I doing wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-15192619859694123492009-11-11T22:30:42.221-05:002009-11-11T22:30:42.221-05:00Kelly Anne - Next time you could try covering the ...Kelly Anne - Next time you could try covering the bars with foil so the top wouldn't over-brown!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-29114339988430414882009-11-11T15:55:48.993-05:002009-11-11T15:55:48.993-05:00Joe, digging into some gingerbread pumpkin bars ri...Joe, digging into some gingerbread pumpkin bars right now! Delicious. The only problem I had is that I didn't have a 10 x 15 pan, and used a 9 x 13 pan. I didn't think it'd make a huge difference, but now I think I need to go out and get a bigger baking pan! I had to keep adding ten minutes because it was SO jiggly, and the cookie is pretty much burnt (both the crumble and the crust.) It's not so bad that I won't eat it, but I don't think I'll be bringing it into work like I had hoped. Great idea, though. I'll keep playing with it and probably just suck it up and get a bigger pan!Kelly Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326867272851806954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-54666326677806941142007-10-18T19:21:00.000-04:002007-10-18T19:21:00.000-04:00Andy - great!

Our recipe used mustard power instead of Dijon. We had similar results. It was incredibly too rich for my taste (I think we may have used too strong of a sharp cheddar) and there was a bitterness to it that I didn't love.<BR/><BR/>I am excited to try whipping up some of your gingerbread pumpkin bars this next weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-88270546533885451192007-10-10T10:58:00.000-04:002007-10-10T10:58:00.000-04:00I like hearing your responses to the beer and chee...I like hearing your responses to the beer and cheese soup, even though you didn't like it. It sounds a little strange to me too. This kind of honest feedback is part of what makes your blog trustworthy as well as fun to read. And a big part of what I like about your blog is that you are always trying new things. It's inevitable that some won't be your favorite!
