Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
3 eggs
1 (16 ounce) can canned pumpkin puree
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
whipped cream

Steps:

  • Combine cake mix from box, melted butter and one of the eggs; beat until combined.
  • Set aside one cup of the cake-mix mixture.
  • Spread remaining cake mix mixture in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • Press to form an even crust.
  • In medium mixing bowl, beat together the remaining eggs, the pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar and the 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture over crust in prepared pan.
  • Combine the reserved cake-mix mixture, the sugar, the 2 tablespoons softened butter and the cinnamon.
  • Dot evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until done when tested with toothpick.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack.
  • Cut into 16 squares and then into triangles.
  • Serve with whipped cream with additional pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top.

Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps keep the crust tender.
  • When making the filling, be sure to use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your bars the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the bars dense and tough.
  • Before baking, chill the bars for at least 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie bars are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall gatherings. With a flaky crust and a creamy, spiced filling, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone.
