Blue Ribbon Recipe

Instead of making a pumpkin pie, try these delicious pumpkin pie bars. It has all the flavors of a pie without a crust. We would consider these more cake-like bars than a blondie-type bar, but regardless they are delicious. Fluffy and moist they have the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor. On top is an easy cream cheese frosting that's sweet, tangy, and buttery.
