4 trips later, we're ready to make iced pumpkin bars!

So this picture really is worth a thousand words. Bree and I thought we were all ready to bake. We went to the store believing we had all the ingredients we would need. So.... we get home and come to find out we need 4 eggs. Bree looks for the eggs... no eggs. I go home and get eggs! We look for flour... no flour. I go home and get us flour. We look for oil... guess what? NO oil! We come to realize that Dan is the thief and he's been taking the cooking products with him to work! So... back to the store we go! Now we're really ready to bake!

Iced Pumpkin Bars: Dana Schultz recipe (Bree's mom)

4 eggs
1 2/3 C Sugar
1 can pumpkin - 15 ounces
1 C vegetable oil
2 C flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 C margarine (8 tablespoons/1 stick)
2 C powdered sugar
splash of vanilla (optional but we used it!)

Step 1: beat eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until fluffy

Step 2: add dry ingredients and beat until creamy.












Step 3: in an ungreased jelly roll pan, pour and spread evenly.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.








While your bars are cooling, beat cream cheese, margarine, powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy.

When bars are completely cool, frost!
Simply Delicious!
