I know it's bad manners to brag, but if ever a baked good deserved the title best ever, it's these... My mom used to make a batch or two every fall, but they are so good that I crave them year 'round. They are an autumn party for your tastebuds. They are moist pumpkin perfection topped with just the right amount of cream cheese frosting. Do make + eat these this weekend. They'll make a big batch and are perfect to bring along to your pumpkin carving party. I promise they will not disappoint.

Mmm...pumpkin + cream cheese frosting, yum!
Really, really can't wait to make these! They look and sound amazing! xo
definitely making these this weekend or next week!
How do you argue with pumpkin perfection? Sounds FAB! I must try them!
Blessings!
ooo! I can't wait to try them! Yummy!
yes please! I love pretty much anything pumpkin flavored so I will definitely be trying these!
These sound fantastic!! We may be coming to MN for Thanksgiving, so I will need a way to use up the 238497 cans of pumpkin I bought to make pies for Megan's family Thanksgiving...
For the frosting, do you just whip all that together?
Done! I was racking my brain to figure out what dessert to make for our farewell party this weekend, and I believe I found a winner. Thank you! Anything baked with pumpkin is my follow up favorite from bread & butter.
@ Katie: yes--for the frosting you just whip together the ingredients and spread it on your cooled bars. (i also allow it to set for a little bit before cutting.)
Ooo! Makes me wish we celebrated pumpkins in the southern hemisphere as much as you do over there. No reason why I can't be making these though! Thanks, looks so yummy.
They are in the oven right now and smell DELICIOUS!!!
As soon as this post came across my Google Reader, I printed the recipe, and now the bars are cooling in the kitchen! Thank you for sharing-- they smell awesome and they were super easey to whip up!
These LOOK and SOUND delicious. Then again, how can anyone NOT like anything pumpkin? lol.
making these... umm this weekend... gorgeous. Look so beyond yummy and perfectly fall.
Finally got around to making these over the weekend. Fantastic! They are an impressive dessert, and so easy to make!
