I made these today and were a hit at work. I added ground nutmeg and used the full 8oz of cream cheese and omitted the water. De-lish!

These were sooo good. I added extra spices-cloves,ginger & nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon. I also substituted brown sugar for white and half the oil for unsweetened applesauce. I added toasted walnuts to the batter and left off the frosting. We loved these and I will definitely be making them again.

These were especially good. I added 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and increased the cream cheese to 8 oz. for the frosting. Very easy to make to make. Next time I may sprinkle chopped pecans on the frosting.

These bars are not only easy but my husband gave me the best review ever," They taste like a fancy dessert from a restaurant". I'll be making these for Thanksgiving, for sure!

Made these for a Halloween party. Added 2 teaspoons of all spice and 2 teaspoons of nutmeg because I thought it could use more flavor when I tasted the batter. Also did as another poster suggested and used 8 oz. of cream cheese and that was perfect for the icing. Icing was thin so next time I make it, I will leave out the milk completely. Very good "base"recipe though :-)

turned out very moist and the icing was perfect not too much but enough to be able to taste the sweet cream cheese taste. DELISH! I will definitely be making this again!

My family said, "The best pumpkin bars ever!" I used a light olive oil instead of vegetable oil and doubled the cream cheese (8 oz) for the frosting.
