I made the Pumpkin Macadamia Nut Bars. I cut the recipe in half to test it out for my husband and myself before making a large batch. They have good flavor, but are dry and crumbly. I did use the whole egg, but that shouldn’t make it dry and crumbly. I would think it would need some vegetable oil or something like that. The only wet ingredients is the solid pack pumpkin, butter, and the one egg.
