Easy Pumpkin Bars with cream cheese frosting that everyone will devour this Fall.
It’s the season of pumpkin and I am sure I could fit in one more recipe for easy pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. I love all the pumpkin recipes so far and I can’t say that this will be the last. The cream cheese frosting is the key to this fabulous fall dessert.
Yesterday I made my Lemon bars and these pumpkin bars to take to a family get together. They were so easy and really only had two steps to make them. I’m sure you love those kinds of recipes when you are in the busy holiday season and trying to tackle so many things.
