Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ranked #7,648 in Food & Cooking, #129,603 overall
Pumpkin Bars Make a Great Halloween Snack
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are the perfect fall recipe. These are good for any occasion. I have made pumpkin bars for Holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and even Halloween. There are several variations of these bars from more pie like to a cake type bar or a combination of both.
My sister-in-law makes the best pumpkin bars. I'm good...but she edges me out on these, though I use the same recipe that she passed along to me. When it comes to homemade desserts for all the Holidays it comes down to her or me. Everyone else in the family takes the easy way out. Yummy store bakery desserts!
Pumpkin bars make a great Halloween snack. They can be decorated with Jack o' lantern designs or scary black cats on top of the cream cheese frosting.

- Great recipe. Can you use your own pumpkins as I have never seen pumpkin puree in the shops and now most of the canned stuff comes from China and is rather dubious health wise. Bookmarked to try this out for the grandkids. Hugs
