Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting Pumpkin Bars are a delicious fall dessert. This pumpkin bar recipe makes a nice moist pumpkin cake topped with a rich, cream cheese frosting. Today’s recipe for Pumpkin Bars comes from my friend Sherra. This is one of their family’s favorite holiday recipes. One year she made 20 batches of pumpkin bars for her kid’s school. It was so popular, she printed off the recipe and left it in the school office for all the mom’s who kept asking for the recipe! A few weeks ago we hosted a get together at our house for the new families in our church congregation. I needed a treat that I could make stretch as I had no idea how many people were coming. These pumpkin bars are made in a large 12 x 17 inch jelly roll pan and I knew I could cut them into whatever size I needed depending on how many people showed up! The cake is made with a yummy combination of fall flavors – cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger so it is the perfect treat for this time of year. For me, the cream cheese frosting is the best part, just slather it on!! I like to sprinkle them with some pecans because it dresses them up a bit and makes them prettier. Just cut the bars into any size you like – depending on how many you are feeding. Because of the cream cheese in the frosting be sure and keep the leftovers in the refrigerator – if you have any leftovers!
