Yummy Tried Recipe

I was watching Food Network this morning all snuggled in my warm bed since it is snowing here and she made these Pumpkin Bars that made my mouth water for some reason so I went and got the recipe from her show and they are delish! If you like pumpkin you will love them!
Here is the recipe from her site

Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
