Now that fall is officially here, it’s time to start some of those seasonal dessert recipes rolling! For all of you pumpkin lovers, here’s a dessert in bar form that makes a lot but also delivers in moist, delicious pumpkin-ness!  The cream cheese frosting is literally the icing on the cake that adds the perfect creaminess.  Add a cup of coffee or a glass of milk and you have the perfect fall dessert!

This makes 2 9×13″ pans, so you’ll be able to feed that crowd that is coming to your house this season!

Pumpkin Bars
2 Cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 cup nuts, chopped
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or 1/4 tsp each, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and nutmeg

Frosting:
6 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 Tb. cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients for bars.  Pour into two greased and floured 9 x 13 pans and bake at 350 degrees 20-25 minutes.

To make frosting, mix cream cheese and butter.  Combine with other ingredients and mix well.  Frost cooled bars.

Happy Pumpkin Monday!
