Notes
You can use the cream cheese frosting we have in the recipe or make your own buttercream for this.
This can be made into a cake if you bake it in a 9"x13" baking pan.
If you wan't a little more richness, substitute 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar with brown.
Make sure your bars are fully cooled before frosting.
Make sure you are using pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
