Moist, cakey pumpkin bars topped with a pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting.
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.
