Pumpkin Bars & Cream Cheese Frosting
When school starts and the leaves begin to fall from the trees it is time for all things pumpkin. These bars have been a tradition in our family since I was a little girl. They are bars but are more like cake topped with cream cheese frosting. Fabulous to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
