Sheet Pan Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

One good thing about Fall and the cooler temperatures is that I get inspired to bake. I know my kids love it when they come home to something delicous and fresh baked. Plus it makes the house smell so good. Especially pumpkin spices – there is something special about cinnamon and vanilla that makes a house smell like the holidays. And speaking of the holidays this will be a great Thanksgiving dessert idea. I hope you enjoy my newest creation.

Thanksgiving is almost here - and I can hardly wait! Maybe it is the excitement from my kids that has me looking forward to the great food and celebration with family and friends - but regardless it will be wonderful. And what better way to celebrate the season than with some homemade pumpkin bars. These are so moist and delicious it will be hard to just eat one. Enjoy! Bon Appetit, Cecelia

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

I love sheet pans for baking for several reasons – it takes less time to bake and the cool much faster making it easy to apply the frosting. When it comes to cream cheese frosting – a combination of vanilla and lemon give the cream cheese an extra kick. This makes about 24 bars – but honestly it is hard to eat just one bars. LOL
