How to Make Pumpkin Bars

See how easy that was? I love a good cake with a box mix, but this cake is just as easy to make as opening a box!
Just add all the ingredients together, blend and pour into a pan.
I have to tell you that the Cream Cheese Frosting makes all the difference. Don’t skimp and go with store-bought frosting. You will not be happy! Well, not AS happy as when you make your own. Promise!
If you don’t have a sheet pan on hand, just use a 9×13 cake pan and increase the baking time by about 5 minutes.
You’ll have to check the center to see when it’s done by inserting a toothpick and if it comes out clean – it’s ready!
Ok – now it’s your turn to make some deliciousness today! Hurry! This is one Pumpkin Bars Recipe you have to try!!
