Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice can be used instead of the ground cinnamon in this recipe.
  • tip 2
    Top each bar with a piece of Halloween candy. Or lightly press small leaf-shaped cookie cutter into center of cut bar. Use cotton swab to dust ground cinnamon inside cutter, creating leaf design.
  • tip 3
    Use a 1-pound container of Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting.
