Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
3 eggs
1 (16 ounce) can canned pumpkin puree
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
whipped cream

Steps:

  • Combine cake mix from box, melted butter and one of the eggs; beat until combined.
  • Set aside one cup of the cake-mix mixture.
  • Spread remaining cake mix mixture in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • Press to form an even crust.
  • In medium mixing bowl, beat together the remaining eggs, the pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar and the 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture over crust in prepared pan.
  • Combine the reserved cake-mix mixture, the sugar, the 2 tablespoons softened butter and the cinnamon.
  • Dot evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until done when tested with toothpick.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack.
  • Cut into 16 squares and then into triangles.
  • Serve with whipped cream with additional pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bars the best flavor. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking will make your bars dry. Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Serve the bars with whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious creamy touch.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or simply enjoying at home. With their creamy pumpkin filling and flaky crust, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
