RECIPE: My Mamas Frosted Pumpkin Bars!!

I have been meaning to add more recipes to this blog FOREVER, so I am going to make a commitment to share some of my favorite recipes over the next several weeks. First up, is Frosted Pumpkin Bars! My Mama has made these as long as I can remember and they are my absolute favorite! Many of you know I am not a baker, but this is one recipe I do make from scratch!! If you want Pumpkin Bars that melt in your mouth, then try these:

Ingredients:
4 Eggs (Beaten)
1 C Oil
1 Cup Pumpkin (I use entire small can)
2 C Sugar
2 Cup Flour
1/2 teas Salt
2 T Cinnamon
2 teas baking soda
(1 C raisins or nuts optional - I don't use)

Directions:
Mix together until smooth

Bake 350 for 20-25 min. (I use large cookie sheet-grease & flour). Once you take out of the over, FROST while warm.

FROSTING Ingredients/Instructions
3 oz Cream Cheese - softened
1 teas Vanilla
1 T Margarine
2-3 C Powdered Sugar
little Milk

Mix all ingredients until smooth. I wish I could say these measurements are exact, but just mix the frosting until you get the desired texture (not to thick, not to runny).

GOOD LUCK!! I will add a picture when I make the next batch!! I PROMISE you will love them!!
