Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bars
I love that these Swirly Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bars are the perfect combination of pumpkin and cream cheese all swirled together into a delicious bar!  It’s always good to try a new recipe and have it turn out the way you hoped it would.  This Pumpkin Bar recipe came from Cookie Madness, and I was glad to give it a try!  These bars are perfect for any occasion and were so easy to make! We love to make them in the fall time particularly around halloween, but any time of year is a good time of year to partake of this deliciousness.

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 24 bars
Ingredients
  • 6 Tbsp. melted butter
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1¾ cup flour
  • 1½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • Swirl:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 15x10 pan with cooking spray.
  2. Mix together the batter by creaming together the butter and sugar. Mix in the eggs, pumpkin and water until well blended. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg together and add to the pumpkin mixture. Spread into the prepared pan.
  3. Mix the swirl by beating together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla till smooth.
  4. Drop tablespoons of the cheese mixture on to the pumpkin batter, then take a knife and swirl the cheese mixture to make a marbled look on top. (I went back and forth a few times to get the right mix). Bake for 30 minutes or until the batter springs back when touched.
  5. (My pan was a little bit smaller, so I needed to cook mine for about 35 minutes).
  6. Let cool completely in pan, then chill for an hour before cutting and serving.
  7. ENJOY!
