Ingredients

  • 15 ounce Can of Libby's Pumpkin Puree (or similar brand)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ cups White Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter (softened)
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 cups Confectioners' Sugar
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Sprinkles of Cinnamon
  • Fall Colored Sprinkles
  • Mini Pumpkin Candies

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12"x17" half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the sides of the pan with cooking spray. This size gives a slightly shorter bar about 3/4" thick after baking, like I have in the photos above.Note: You can also use a 10"x15" jelly roll pan for a slightly taller bar.

  2. 2

    Cream together butter and white sugar in an electric mixer or large mixing bowl. Add eggs and mix well.

  3. 3

    Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add dry ingredients to the mixer. Blend pumpkin puree into batter.

  4. 4

    Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

  5. 5

    While the bars bake, make the cream cheese frosting.

  6. 6

    In a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, blend together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract.
