• Frosting:
• 2 cups Flour
• 2 cups Sugar
• 16 ounces Pumpkin, canned
• 1 cup Vegetable Oil
• 4 medium Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon -- ground

• 1/3 cup Butter or Margarine -- softened
• 1 package Cream Cheese -- (3 oz.), softened
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease 9x13 inch baking pan.
In large bowl, blend all bar ingredients at low speed until moistened.
Beat 2 minutes at medium speed.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool.

In small bowl, combine frosting ingredients; beat until smooth.
Spread over cooled bars.

(You can successfully freeze these bars by allowing them to completely cool, then placing them inside zip baggies, then removing all of the air inside the baggies, using a drinking straw to suck it out.
They are great to freeze in small baggies for individual servings, but can also be frozen in large baggies for larger groups.)
