A moist bar with a marvelous flavor and a luscious thick cream cheese frosting – YES!.These innocent looking little cake bars are absolutely irresistible As soon as the weather cools, and we say goodbye to summer, this is the first recipe I make. If for some reason I’m slow to get to baking, my kids vehemently complain. These pumpkin bars are their favorite, and have been, since the very first time I made them probably ten years ago!

These are incredibly moist and wonderfully spiced. The thick cream cheese frosting is the perfect finish on them.
