Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Bars are a delicious fall dessert. This pumpkin bar recipe makes a nice moist pumpkin cake crowned with a rich, cream cheese frosting.

these days’s recipe for Pumpkin Bars comes from my pal Sherra.  this is one among their family’s  preferred excursion recipes. one year she made 20 batches of pumpkin bars for her child’s school.  It changed into so popular, she published off the recipe and left it within the school office for all the mother’s who saved asking for the recipe!

some weeks ago we hosted a get collectively at our house for the brand new families in our church congregation.  I wished a deal with that I could make stretch as I had no concept what number of people had been coming. these pumpkin bars are made in a large 12 x 17 inch jelly roll pan and that i knew I may want to reduce them into some thing length I wished depending on what number of people confirmed up!
