Ingredients
  • BARS:
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Cups flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 Cup mazola oil

  • FROSTING:
  • 1-1/2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 pkg. (8oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 3-1/2 Cups powdered sugar
  • (The frosting ingredients were doubled by my Mother years ago, I'm assuming the original amount didn't cover it to her liking, thought I'd throw this in, I've had a few people ask me.)

Directions
  1. BARS:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Combine all the BAR ingredients in a large bowl & mix until combined.
  4. Bake in a greased 11x15 pan for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool completely.
  6. FROSTING:
  7. Cream butter & cream cheese together in a large bowl.
  8. Add vanilla & powdered sugar, mix till smooth.
  9. If it seems stiff or not spreadable add a little bit of milk.
  10. Spread over cooled pumpkin bars.

Yum!


Sounds better than a pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving! ;)


Is it supposed to be 3-1/2 Tbsp. of powdered sugar? My husband said cups, but we both thought that would be an insane amount of frosting!! Anyway, we love ANYTHING pumpkin and this sounds great, we will try this one for sure!!


Thanks for the info we are looking forward to trying this and some of your other recipes.

Yummy is the word for this recipe! I love ice bars like this one! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!


I think your recipe sounds wonderful! One of my daughters needed a good pumpkin bar recipe for an upcoming dinner she's going to and this will be great for her! *I have a nephew stationed in Fairbanks in the Army who just left for Iraq last month. He knows Sarah Palin's son who is also there with him... Just thought I'd add that since I see you're from Alaska! :) Have a great weekend!
