If you like pumpkin pie, you'll love these soft & moist bars. It makes my mouth water, just to think about them. These bars are best served cold. |
Ingredients: |
|
1 (18 oz.) box |
|
yellow cake mix, divided |
|
3/4 c. |
|
butter, divided |
|
3 lg. |
|
eggs |
|
1 (1 lb. 4 oz.) can |
|
pumpkin pie mix (1 can = approx. 3 c.) |
|
2/3 c. |
|
evaporated milk |
|
1/4 c. |
|
sugar |
|
1 tsp. |
|
cinnamon |
Directions: |
|
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Measure out 1 c. of cake mix into a small bowl. Set aside. In a second small (microwave-safe) bowl, melt ½ c. butter. Keep remaining ¼ c. butter in fridge.
For crust, mix together remaining cake mix with ½ c. melted butter and 1 egg and press into 9” x 13” pan.
For filling, mix together remaining 2 eggs with pumpkin pie mix and evaporated milk; spread over crust batter in pan.
For topping, using a food processor on pulse mode, a pastry blender/knife, or 2 forks or knives, cut/blend together ¼ c. cold butter with remaining 1 c. cake mix, sugar and cinnamon. Blend until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling in pan.
Bake for 45 - 50 min. (or until knife inserted comes out clean).
