Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

This week I have been busy in the kitchen, preparing some of the best Fall Foods. The first recipe I made was Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars. They are aren't too fattening of a treat to indulge in.

The Pinterest Pin linked to this blog. Go here. The writer said she whipped up this dessert in a pinch with ingredients out of what was in her pantry and refrigerator. I say that is very crafty, I wouldn't have the first idea of things to "throw" together in a pinch. I need direction.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

Random ingredients:

-1 Box of Angel Food Cake Mix (One Step Kind, basically the box says just add water)

-1 can of Pumpkin Puree (15oz)

-3/4 water

-1/2 tsp Cinnamon

-1 8oz package of Cheese Cheese

1. Mix together the cake mix, pumpkin puree, water and cinnamon. 

2. Separately mix cream cheese with a couple tablespoons of water to make it smooth and thinned out. 

3. Grease a baking dish.

4. Fill the baking dish with HALF of the pumpkin\cake mix, and HALF of the cream cheese mix. 

5. Run a knife through the mix, making figure 8's for a fancy design. 

6. Then put the rest of the pumpkin\cake mix in the baking dish and the rest of the cream cheese mix. 

7. Again run a knife through the mix, making figure 8's for a fancy design. 

8. Bake for 35 minutes on 375 degrees, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

9. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut and enjoy. 

I did add some more cinnamon to the top of mine and swirled it in. I am not the biggest fan of angel food cake, so I did not love these bars. But my husband and friends said they were pretty good. So I'll say it was a Pinterest Success for them.
