How to Make Pumpkin Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree.
  3. Beat for 1 minute at high speed with a hand mixer.
  4. Add 1 (15.25 ounce) box spice cake mix and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Blend until just combined.
  5. Beat for 2 minutes at high speed.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, beat 4 ounces softened cream cheese and 1 (16 ounce) container of cream cheese frosting with a hand mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the bars are completely cool, frost evenly.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before cutting and serving.
