Paula Deen Pumpkin Bars & Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Pumpkin Bars

I’m in heaven. I finally ran out of apples from my trip to North Carolina, but I have some pumpkin left over from Halloween and it was time to use it up.

My kids devoured this Pumpkin Bar recipe. This was my first time making it and this recipe was so easy to make.
