Pumpkin Spice Bars

 Oh rejoice for fall! I love all things fall, do you?  The crisp, beautifully colored leaves, the chill in the air that makes you welcome a sweatshirt and some fuzzy socks — ahhhhh…. and pumpkin spice.

Yes, in this house we are “those girls.”

It’s even a standing joke, but we don’t care.  We can be those girls a few months out of the year, deal with the stereo type, and comfortably sip our Pumpkin Spice lattes and smile.

When I was flipping through an old cookbook from a church in Lincoln, Nebraska, I found these bars, and KNEW I had to try them.  I had to have SOMETHING new and pumpkin on my blog before October hit, right??   I started getting everything together to whip them up, and when I went to grab the box of Bisquick from my pantry I was almost out.  I wasn’t going to the store, so I decided to make my own! It turned out super good.

These pumpkin spice bars make a big jelly roll pan full, enough to share — IF they last that long.

I used Pumpkin Spice liquid Coffee creamer in my frosting. I had it on hand, BUT you could use milk in it's place if you don't want to buy it just for the little bit it calls for. 🙂
