For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the frosting. Drain the crushed pineapple very well to prevent the bars from becoming soggy. To enhance the nutty notes, toast the carrots lightly before shredding them. Feel free to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture. Store frosted bars in the refrigerator to maintain the frosting's consistency.

Sep 6, 2024I was skeptical about the carrots and pineapple, but they add such a lovely sweetness and moisture to the bars. Will definitely make again!
