Pumpkin Bars

Now that it's fall, break open the cans of pumpkin and pull out those yummy spices! This pumpkin bar recipe always gets rave reviews - I brought it to a ladies thing last week as well as our church fellowship lunch yesterday and I had hardly any to bring home to Scot! The key to this recipe is the pan size - don't try and use a 9x13, it just won't come out right. Also, the cream cheese frosting that goes on this is fantastic!

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup oil (you can sub half the oil for some applesauce)

You may have some extra frosting, so get out the graham crackers or make sure to bake cup-cakes or something else!
