Instructions

  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  8. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  9. Add vanilla extract and gradually beat in powdered sugar until frosting is creamy and spreadable.
  10. Spread frosting evenly over cooled pumpkin bars.
  11. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure the bars are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting. You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
