Bars
4 eggs

1 15 oz. can pumpkin

Frosting
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2-3 tsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powered sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired

Beat eggs, sugar, oil, pumpkin till smooth. Stir all dry ingrd. together, add to wet ingrd. Can stir in 1 cup raisins, I do NOT. Spread in greased cookie sheet pan, 15x10x1. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Cool completely, 2 hours.

Mix up frosting. Spread over bars. Sprinkle with nuts.

This is my favorite pumpkin dessert. I hate pumpkin pie so this is a yummy alternative. It is really rich but oh so good. It makes a ton too.
