Pumpkin Bars

This is a great fall treat. The biggest problem is you can't stop eating them. I also place a cup of chocolate chips in them. YUM!

PUMPKIN BARS

4 eggs
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup oil
1 (16 oz) can pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

In mixing bowl, beat together egg, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and soda. Add to the pumpkin mixture and mix thoroughly. (Add chocolate chips if you want to). Spread batter in ungreased 15" x 10" pan. Also works well in cupcake tins or pumpkin-shaped tins.
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Cool. Frost with cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing:
1 (3 oz) package of cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar

Cream together cheese and butter, stir in vanilla and powdered sugar a little at a time, beating until smooth. Looks festive with food coloring added to the mixture.
