The Life Changing Pumpkin Bar Recipe with Cream Cheese Frosting

October 20, 2016 By Julie 2 Comments

Inside you’ll find: The bestest ever pumpkin bar recipe with the perfect cream cheese frosting.

 

Can I admit to the world that I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte?

Horror, right? And since we’re confessing, I haven’t had any kind of latte ever. Eek!

But that’s not to say I haven’t had my fair share of pumpkin obsessions.

These pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting have been my favorite since my mom got this recipe from a church friend when I was a child.

And now I’m sharing them with you! You’re welcome.
