There are some things that are just worth repeating, & this is one of them. I originally posted this over 3 years ago, so I thought it time to share again. Seriously, people, easy, yummy, & I have converted many a pumpkin-hater with this one! I do believe my family is most happy with me for whipping these up on this dreary day.
*******************************
Beginning in September, the kids start saying, "It's almost time for Pumpkin Bars!" This is a FAVORITE treat that I began making years ago around the first of October through the holidays. They are super easy, & everybody seems to like them (hey, how can you not like something that is covered in cream cheese frosting!?!?). Enjoy!!
PUMPKIN BARS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
4 eggs
1 2/3 c. sugar
1 c. oil
16 oz. can pumpkin
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Beat eggs, sugar, oil & pumpkin. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Spread in ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
***Frosting:
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. powdered sugar
Beat until smooth & spread over cooled pumpkin bars.
***Ok, so really, who uses 3 oz. of cream cheese?? So as not to leave the other 5 oz. to become moldy in the fridge, I throw the whole bar in & double the rest of the ingredients. I find this method a much better use of ingredients. ;)
