Expert Tips

Two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice can be used instead of the ground cinnamon in this recipe.

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.

Use a 1-pound container of Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting.

I made this recipe just as it was stated. It was fantastic! My husband LOVED the frosting. I did not have a 15 by 10 by 1 pan so I used a slightly smaller one and also got 6 cupcakes from the batch. The frosting was the perfect amount with only the 3 ounces of cream cheese. I will definitely be making these again.

I make this recipe with chopped walnuts instead of raisins and for the frosting I use almond flavoring instead of vanilla and it is a big hit in my house.

Excellent, just made for a family gathering and everyone love them. Made some changes; used 9 X 13 pan, used 13 oz pumpkin and 2 oz unsweetened applesauce, added chopped nuts to batter, baked additional 5 min. For frosting use Philly white chocolate cream cheese and dusted with nuts. Will absolutely make these again.
