Are these pumpkin bars just like cake?

They're a little more dense because there's so much Nutella ribboned through the batter.

How long will they stay fresh?

I'd recommend keeping them for 2-3 days sealed in a plastic container or covered with plastic wrap.

What is Nutella?

Nutella is a type of sweet chocolate hazelnut spread. I t can be used for lots of things such as a dip for fresh fruit, spread on toast, added to baking or just eaten straight from the jar with a spoon!
