Your new go-to bar full of the fall flavours you love--a pumpkin-spiced cake-mix bar topped with a sweet cream cheese drizzle for a cozy, simple autumn treat!

Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ golden cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Whipped cream cheese frosting

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2

In large bowl, mix Bar ingredients with spoon until well blended. Spread in pan.
3

Bake 24 to 28 minutes or until light brown and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool completely, at least 45 minutes.
4

In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 5 to 10 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle with fork over top of bar. Let stand about 30 minutes or until set. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Pumpkin pie spice is a staple spice in many fall recipes. To make your own, mix 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves. Store mixture in a clean small jar.
You can freeze leftover pumpkin in an airtight container for your favourite recipes. Just thaw and stir before adding.
