QUICK AND EASY PUMPKIN PIE BARS
I generally bake from scratch, but I ran across this recipe that uses a yellow cake mix that is fabulous. It makes a beautiful three-layer bar that is good either with or without the 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.

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.
