BEST EVER FROSTED PUMPKIN BARS



Best Ever Frosted Pumpkin Bars image

This recipe came to me originally from my best friend Jayne Clark. These are my favorite pumpkin bars ever, and the best pumpkin bars I've ever had, plus, it serves a crowd. My family and friends like a more intense cinnamon flavor in the cake and a thicker layer of frosting, so I added more cinnamon to the cake and more cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla to the frosting so it makes more, while improving the flavor of both cake and frosting. Every time I make these, everyone asks for the recipe and for me to bring them often. I take these to our large family gatherings (it has become a Thanksgiving tradition). I bring the Pumpkin Bars and my brother brings the pumpkin pie! (This recipe can easily be cut in half, using a 15 oz. can of pumpkin and halving all the other ingredients, then baked at 350 degrees F in a 13x9x2 in. pan for 25 min. The frosting recipe can be halved as well).
