I made these ginger pumpkin praline squares for my husband's birthday and he brought them to work. My husband and his co-workers really enjoyed them. But what they really enjoyed was the topping. These bars really do take a couple of hours to make. But, it is well worth the effort when you get all the compliments and "wow's".
