AMAZING Pumpkin Bars | Preppy Kitchen

[@bobb4199]

I love when you make "mistakes". It gives others more confidence when they goof. You are now my go to for recipes.

[@iluvzurara2]

omg for real theyre the best part!!

[@Lilli615]

i love that he made mistake and went with it, even though he has swaps he didnt make a new "perfect" roll

[@Pinkui]

Thank you for keeping It real

[@francesdemers7555]

Lol

[@peggyboehnlein8755]

Me too

[@sweetrosemary2000]

I love how don't edit out the "mistakes" that makes me feel that I am not the only one that does things like that. LOL THANK YOU.DON'T EVER CHANGE THAT.

[@MarisolGodinez-s9b]

I’ve never had SO many great compliments of anything I’ve ever baked like this recipe. It’s just the perfect recipe where none of the ingredients are really overwhelming! Making it tonight for Valentine’s Day!

[@rickm5271]

Oh John, at least you end up remembering the sugar. I will forever be reminded by my little brother about the one Thanksgiving when I decided to make the pumpkin pie from scratch, roasting the sugar pumpkin, making the crust and designing autumnal leaves for the pie edge. I checked the pie 30 mins in to make sure the crust was not over baking, covered it with foil, then turning around to see the measured out sugar sitting on the counter! It looked amazing but tasted terrible. I remember my little brother, insistent on trying it, sprinkling sugar over his slice, it didn't help. To this day, the Thanksgiving slogan is "...and remember the sugar!"

[@sahej6939]

That’s the best! could it have been mashed, sugared, reheated, and served in wine glasses with whip cream?

[@jenniferhansen3622]

That is a very cute story!!

[@2oldfashgrl]

I can certainly relate! My big goof up (not with pumpkin pie) was with a 2 layered cake I was supposed to bring for a cake walk game for a Halloween carnival for our jr. high. I made the cake, it was fine. Then... I put the frosting on, and forgot to frost between the 2 layers! I don't know what alerted me to that; but I was horrified! My dad was home that day from work, and he came up with a plan. He said to go ahead and take it anyway! He said he would finish frosting it on top, and put a decoration on it. He said it could be a little Halloween prank! So I did; it wouldn't have hurt anyone anyway. No one knew who brought it, and I'll never know who won it, or what they thought of it! I still remember it 55 years later!

[@peggyboehnlein8755]

Awwwe, bless your hearts!!!

❤❤

[@debbiebuttars5598]

Oh, forgot to say … I just noticed how many followers you have. Holy heck! I have to say that your success makes me so happy. You are such a nice guy. So kind. So funny. It warms my heart when a great person has great success. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rowdy7480]

Same here.

[@dannytownsend3710]

It's great to watch someone who's not afraid to show his hiccups. The recipe looks great.

[@hm3drake35]

💞 that spice drawer!!!! OMG. I would love that.

[@07terpthis]

I am so glad I found this guy ! He's just so cute and so funny ! I could watch him all day . I just love the gentleness and kindness in his voice. Recipes so easy to follow . Thank you !

[@jaclynpass4604]

I've never laughed out loud at a cooking video, until today. The honesty is so refreshing

[@anthonythegalvez]

Seeing his spice drawer is like that scene at the beginning of Doctor Strange where he's got all his watches on spinning displays

[@shannanigansisme]

😆

[@hm3drake35]

I saw that and I'm thinking "I NEED THAT".

[@Leafygreen123]

He’s got a sprinkle drawer too!

[@tinachavez5489]

THANK YOU John for being so "normal" in the kitchen, not one of those fake fancy-pance you tubers. Love you so much😘

[@1LORENAMONGE]

That spice drawer. 😍. And yes, baking is like that for most of us. I’m glad you kept it real. 🌈💜

[@user-qu1t3qua1nt]

I love the way this video is made) It's not this image of.. perfectly perfect perfection, instead it shows the REAL you. And it's immensely enjoyable to watch since you really are a great person ))

[@donnarohrer4518]

I’ve turned into a Preppy Kitchen junkie!🙈 I absolutely look forward to your videos. You are such a brilliant baker and I love when you have your equally adorable husband and sons on. Beautiful family💕💕💕💕

[@PreppyKitchen]

Thanks so much! 😊 Happy Baking!

[@donnarohrer4518]

I’ve been watching you since day one.. you have a good connection with the camera... so good that it’s as if you are talking to me! A born natural! It’s also so nice to see you and your lovely mother Rita ( my mom is also a Rita) I like the fact you occasionally make a booboo letting us know that even a perfectionist Virgo makes mistakes! It might be funny to do a short of funny mishaps!

[@peta-gayepowell1102]

@@PreppyKitchen nice

[@margaretf6147]

Libby grows a special type of pumpkin from what I read on the label. That’s what makes it better.

[@mysticwolf1358]

i loved seeing the little mistakes or when things just don’t go the way you expected, it felt so real and strangely calming

[@rettaconnelly3913]

I made the recipe and we really loved it. I only had a 9x12 pan and it was done in 30 minutes. Also I used 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I added walnuts to the frosting 😋

[@EatSleepCreate]

I made these with my 8 year old son today and they turned out amazing! We love watching your channel together! ❤️

[@1stepcl0ser]

i love when hes all carefree and funny and silly haha and his laugh is the best!!

[@pinanolady]

My whole family is so glad I discovered your channel! My kiddos are in college so when they happen to “stop by” whenever they know I’m making something of yours, I love it! I’ve made the orange chicken, chicken tetrazzini, fish tacos, snickerdoodle cookies, sour cream cookies, apple fritters and tomorrow I’m making your butter chicken. Thank you!! I cannot say enough about how delicious your recipes are!

[@StupidLittleRedFox]

I simply LOVE how you show you also sometimes screw up. For many people like me it is really encouraging to try recipes again and not going into an emotional spiral of "everyone-can-bake-accept-me-I'm-a-screw-up!" And seeing you not making a huge deal out of it is even more heartwarming, because it makes me see someone else's coping mechanism and helps me not to panic. Thank you for being you :)

[@toy209]

Thanks!

[@LordL0ss]

I'm a simple man... I see a new video by Preppy Kitchen, I watch it.

[@carmeladelarosa1425]

I've watched this for 5 times now. I'll definitely make this for the holidays. I've been baking lots of your recipes and I love every single one of them! So excited to make this for the family! Thank you, John! 💙

[@melindagarde6344]

In bed tonight drinking a large glass of Shiraz and decompressing watching you bake, giggle, mess up, giggle again all the while making me forget my troubles! Sending you and your little family hugs from Texas and a big Thank You!!

[@tofym9242]

Never heard of a pumpkin bar! Goodness this looks delicious.

[@jamifitz]

Ive had pumpkin bars at Thanksgiving since childhood & they are delicious !!!

[@hoptoi]

I too have been making pumpkin bars for years - great for potlucks! If you can find fall colored (orange and brown) sprinkles, they look fabulous! I use to be able to get those sprinkles every year, but I haven’t seen them in a long time.

[@dino9607]

I get my pumpkin bars from my local co-op and it’s vegan and gluten free and are the best pumpkin bars I’ve ever had! I wish they’d share the recipe 😂😭

[@barbaraflowers1599]

I love and appreciate your honesty when it comes to your mistakes! It makes me feel so much better about my errors.

[@Blanca385B]

Love Love love...The spice drawer.

[@firstnamelastname4183]

I love fall baking!! It's so cozy and warm ❤️ thank you for these recipes and please keep them coming!!

[@nikodimser8225]

Lovely comment❤

[@babeecee]

Love how you always show how to "hack" pan sizes when you don't have it on hand. Helps me so much

[@glambygladys]

Currently baking your guava pastries while watching this! I'm addicted to your recipes😂 Love you, John!

[@PreppyKitchen]

Hope you enjoy! I LOVE that recipe!!!

[@glambygladys]

@@PreppyKitchen Thank you! I made a big batch and shared it with all of my coworkers! They were a hit! :) Can't wait to make the pumpkin bars next!

[@suzanne4258]

I'll bring your pumpkin bar recipe to our next pinochle game. Thanks John for sharing this autumnal dessert

[@PreppyKitchen]

My pleasure!!! Happy baking!!

[@cindylara8269]

He is the definition of precious.. love your videos

[@jamifitz]

Thanks for sharing John !! Your family is lucky to have such an amazing baker in the house !! ❤🤗

[@annesmeets9304]

I love the idea of making your pan smaller by using foil! Shows that you don't always need a big variety of pans to make things work :)

[@cathydavis9259]

LOVE, LOVE LOVE your kitchen and that spice drawyer is perfect.

[@sprinkwlcake]

I love that spice drawer! It’s so organized!

[@anneackermann3667]

Virgo myself, I have made that mistake myself. Good to see I am not alone. Love the fall and all the pumpkin treats. Your the best

[@katsleggsful]

John, my favorite cooks are the ones like you, who show the mistakes, AND how to fix it! It removes all the anxiety from those, like me, who would otherwise FREAK OUT if we miss a step. So, THANK YOU for raising REAL! I absolutely ADORE you and your channel! ❤❤❤

[@juleswick]

Gosh…I love you! It’s so refreshing that you chose to leave the *snafu segment* in your final video! It’s what makes you, YOU and why we all love you! 💖✨

[@gordonvolkert2304]

I needed that moment of Zen! Because when I attempt to make this I'm gonna need all the zen I can get! My aunt's used to make these on family gatherings, crazy good recipe. Thanks for all the advice! Not a baker, a cooker, this is great! Thanks!

[@astutes_]

your spice drawer is a thing of beauty

[@manuelasalazar4805]

OMG! I love all your advice and how you actually show step by step instruction. Thank You so much! Keep uploading!!!!!!

[@LoanNguyen-js6zd]

i love that you did not stop and refilm the whole thing!!! I dont know about other people but i make mistake like this all the times and like you, i would just scoop out the brown sugar and continue.

[@PreppyKitchen]

It's out cook's secret! Nobody's going to know!

[@orion8835]

I like making this type of thing as a cake. I always use cloves in addition to the others. I also sprinkle ground cloves on top to cut the sugar.

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

One Pie brand pumpkin purée, a New England brand & staple is my absolute favorite! The canning company was founded in the early 19th century in the tiny town of Waldoboro Maine (very near my hometown) & the recipe & label hasn’t changed in over 50 years. So it’s a huge nostalgia hit for me.

[@beanie7547]

I love how genuine your kitchen experiences are. I cannot talk and bake because I’ll mess it up. Cooking absolutely but not baking.

[@Heyitsme_167]

I made this 2 days ago for Thanksgiving yesterday and it turned out amazing. 3 people asked me for the recipe so of course I sent them the link 😄 I didn't have all spice, so I used pumpkin spice instead and had to use vegetable oil bc I was out of olive oil... still turned out very good! Thanks 😊

[@stephenharris3762]

Amazed with his drawer of spices.

[@Reigan2468Farber]

I love watching preppy kitchen for the laughs… pure comedy. Also great recipes

[@vahneb7260]

John, by far you are my favorite. Love all your recipes even the ones I just watch and don’t make.

[@11BeanJelly]

John: "If you haven't had pumpkin bars before, it's like pumpkin cake." Me (who hasn't had either): Ah yes, of course 🧐

[@lisaboban]

Think pumpkin spice latte minus the coffee and made into a cake. And I've made his pumpkin cake and it's fabulous.

[@mhw77713]

😂

[@pakananani6397]

Just now moist lol my son loves these

[@Someone-vn9ce]

You are sooooo missing out if you have never had pumpkin cake or bars. My daughter's birthday is right before Halloween and she always asks for pumpkin cake for her birthday. But then, pumpkin pie is her favorite pie. LOL

[@DeeAnnessWorrell]

My niece’s birthday is Oct 8 we are visiting I’m making this to bring. Only thing different is I’m going to toast some nuts and sprinkle a little on top on half. Some may not want to nuts.

[@michelealaimo4931]

It's so nice to see someone else gets caught up in other things and forget to do things while cooking :)

[@nursewhezzie8309]

My mother in law made pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving one year and forgot the sugar. We were all very nice and never said a word to her. We just added extra cool whip and it was almost easy to choke down.

[@marjessaro]

While you were talking I was talking to you too. Plus all the oohs and Awes. I love this channel and enjoy watching you bake and cook. You seem so f de own yo earth.

[@stuartkinzel8195]

Made these yesterday and brought them into work this morning. Big hit. I just need to figure out how to cover something like this without the cover smushing into the frosting. Using Preppy Kitchen recipes is getting me a reputation as a pretty good baker here at work. Thanks, John.

[@pinkshamrock5590]

These are EXACTLY what fall calls for... cozy and gooey. Looks fantastic!

[@michaeljohnrizzo6643]

I made these bars today to bring to my team at work, and they are a hit! The only ingredient I did not have was cream cheese, so I used your buttercream frosting recipe instead and they are equally as dreamy. I love how incredibly moist the bars are. Thank you John again for your awesome recipes! Your new book is on my order list!

[@ngonsor]

I made these and I ate them for breakfast with coffee . Absolutely amazing! Thank you!

[@a.phillips6892]

John is hysterical! I love his recipes!

[@costicanita7508]

I only can say my dear John, you makes me love so much more the kitchen😍 Thank you for been a Great Teacher😊

[@sandraevanko3633]

I made these yesterday and they are wonderful! Thank you for the recipe, i used my own pumpkin puree, and added a lemon zest to frosting.

[@annsmith9825]

made these and they're very moist warm and tasty, not too sweet but an absolutely delicious treat :)

[@howardcobb4656]

Make them great recipe. Had no pumpkin but had sweet potatoes. Substituted meat from baked sweet potatoes. Really good!!!

[@kathymoreau224]

@preppykitchen Thank you John! I made this today. Turned out great. Everyone in my house loved the bars. Your recipes are wonderful. Can’t thank you enough ❤.

[@pattystevens4903]

That is why i love your videos- we all make mistakes. You make your videos so much fun!

[@raqueleherrera7176]

I also did your banana bread and I always use it whenever we want - I probably baked 8 times of it by now and I didn't want any other recipe I think this is the best. I can't wait to bake this pumpkin bread I'm sure it's also very good thank you so much for sharing these recipes!

[@anthonyarbeau7118]

JUST made this! Our kids devoured their bar in under 30seconds and are on the hunt for more! Thank you!

I just made these! I substituted date sugar and homemade oat flour so I can stay on my diet, I also used powdered Swerve for the frosting!

I made these for my coworkers, and everyone loved them! I added mini chocolate chips to the batter at the end. Thank you so much!

[@olivialee1495]

i wish i had his spice drawer its so neat and organized

[@xyz.Axolotl]

It is absolutely lovely that you show mistakes! Another thing I love is that you give the amount of ingredients in cups and gramms. Last one is necessary for me in Germany. Can't remember that I ever got a baking book with cups or that we use it here. Only very old family recepice from my grandma have it sometimes in it.
