Pumpkin Squares

This is one of the favorite fall desserts on the Ark. It tastes great and has the added benefit of being super easy to prepare! It even bakes in an 11 x 17" pan. Is there any dessert more lovely? I think not.

First-Combine:

1 c. oil
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1-16 oz. can of pumpkin

Second-Add:

2 c. flour 2 t. cinnamon
1 t. baking powder 1 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. baking soda 1/4 t. salt

When mixed together thoroughly, pour batter into a lightly greased 11 x 17" pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Icing:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened 6 T. butter, softened
1 t. vanilla 2 c. powdered sugar
1 T. milk

Cream together 'til smooth. Spread on cooled bars. Enjoy!

(What about all the sugar, eggs and oil, you ask? Hey, I never said they were *good* for you! But they sure *taste* good!)
