QUICK AND EASY PUMPKIN PIE BARS
I generally bake from scratch, but I ran across this recipe that uses a yellow cake mix that is fabulous. It makes a beautiful three-layer bar that is good either with or without the whipped cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. Look for a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin, which are both small and have a sweet, flavorful flesh.
- Roast the pumpkin yourself. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin. This will make it smooth and easy to incorporate into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the squares tough.
- Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the squares cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
