2-INGREDIENT PUMPKIN FROSTING
This frosting is one of those brilliant, silly-simple recipes you'd never know was made with just two ingredients: canned pumpkin puree and chopped up chocolate. You start by cooking the pumpkin to concentrate its flavor and thicken it, then simply stir in the chocolate until it melts. The sweet and tangy results are the perfect complement to cake, and the creamy consistency spreads easily into gorgeous swoops.

Steps:
- Add the pumpkin puree to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until it bubbles, thickens and darkens slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir the chocolate into the pumpkin puree until it's melted and the frosting is smooth. Cool for at least 10 minutes before using. The frosting will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; stir until smooth.
PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (THE WORLD'S BEST!)
After getting this recipe from a friend, I have made them over 100 times for family and friends and they are always a hit, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving! As far as the spices go, less is more; this is not a full-on pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread/cake. They're light and moist cookies with a taste of fall in every bite!

I know there are many pie bar recipes on this site, but I think there's room for another. I dabbled with this one, until I got just the taste I was looking for.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper, overhanging some, for easy removal from pan. I'm sure you could just lightly grease the dish as well...I always use the parchment paper. In food processor, place all crust ingredient, ad pulse to form crumbs. It will come together as you press into dish. Or you can make the crumbs with a pastry cutter.
- 2. Evenly, press crumbs into dish. Place in oven and bake 15 minutes.
- 3. Make filling now: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk and eggs.
- 4. Next whisk in all the spices and brown sugar. Set aside
- 5. Make topping: I also do this in my food processor. Place all ingredients, including nuts. Pulse until you have a nice crumb mixture.
- 6. Once crust is baked, remove from oven and evenly pour the filling over it. Evenly sprinkle crumb mixture over the filling.
- 7. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until filling is set and crumbles are starting to color.
- 8. Cool on rack. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 - 3 hours. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream. I hope your family enjoys these bars as much as mine does.

I can't even begin to tell you how good this pie is. Makes a beautiful presentation: and is just fabulous! It comes from a Pillsbury cookbook. I have made it for years. Very easy. Time is mostly chilling. Great for a special occasion.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Sugar pumpkins are the best choice for making pumpkin puree, as they have a sweet, dense flavor.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Make the pumpkin puree: Once the pumpkin is roasted, scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Use a light hand with the spices: Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly.
- Don't overbake the pie: The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the pie dry and crumbly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
