    The difference is the one that that was black had more sugar and that’s why it burned. Notice when toasting different breads, the ones that taste sweeter have to toast on lower number to avoid burning.

    @FrugalFitMom - In my opinion, the easiest and best pumpkin spice bars are literally made with 1) 15 oz can of plain pumpkin and one Spice cake mix. Mix them together and bake them at 350 in a greased 9x13 cake pan for about 20 minutes. After cold ice them with some cream cheese frosting. Voila! So good and so easy to take with you to any gathering.

The spices all blend together either hot or cold,

Southern Comfort is where it’s at!!! I’m a middle of the anything … bread, cake, pie, etc. lol …. Pour the cereal, then milk, & then pour more cereal to get the rest of the milk & the soggy bits taste amazing when mixed with crunchy cereal.
