pumpkin bars

i can not contain my excitement for fall. the smells, the colors, the foods, the football, the layering... the everything! i stocked up on some fall scents for my home. my favorite right now is the roasted marshmallow plug in, and scarlet pumpkin hand soap - both from bath and body works. i thought since it was marshmallow it would be too much, but no.. it is a m a z i n g. i have been craving the fall pumpkin taste ever since its gotten a little cooler, even though it is still 85 degrees. i made one of my favorite fall desserts, pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. delectable might i add.

Mix all dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients. Grease cookie pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. let it cool.

Top with frosting. If you want to add semisweet chocolate chips to the recipe you can, I don't like tons of chocolates so i just sprinkle mini semisweet chocolate chips on top.
