Pumpkin Pumpkin Bars
I made pumpkin bars (Note: there was a mistake in the nutritional info that has since been updated) the other day. Hubby and I absolutely loved them so I thought I’d whip up a batch for the coworkers to enjoy.
I thought it would be fun to use a pumpkin cookie cutter for the bars. I added orange food coloring to the frosting and piped it through a ziploc bag with a whole cut out of one of the corners. Everyone loved them!
For this batch, since I wasn’t going to be eating any of them, I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese for the frosting. It definitely lowers the calories and fat of the frosting some.

This cake sounds absolutely divine! I can take pumpkin anything any time of the year!
That cake looks absolutely decadent.
I have had this recipe for probably a year then saw it on Pinch My Salt so I decided to make it for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! So easy and the frosting was wonderful. Kept the leftovers in the fridge for several days and it was still as good as the day it was made.
I think I’ll be making this for Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration!
Can I make it with steamed pumpkin?
I just took the cakes out of the oven…smells amazing, looks amazing, but REALLY butter that pan…mine stuck a little…good thing the frosting will cover that part 🙂

The frosting saves the day!
I was suggested this website by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as
nobody else know such detailed about my problem.
You are amazing! Thanks!
