These Fall Pumpkin Squares are how I know when Fall has officially arrived! Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Icing is a sweet Fall treat made in heaven!
Forget that I live on a farm and that Fall officially arrives when I see the combine being pulled out of the barn and head to the field!
Fall for me officially arrives the moment I start craving these pumpkin squares, I feel it in the weather, the corn and beans start to turn and the need for pumpkin squares hits me!
My Mom has made pans and pans of these every fall since I was a kid! They are a distinct part of my childhood memories of food!
Honestly in the fall I can never decide if I’m Team Pumpkin or Team Apple. I will say that the cream cheese icing that pairs so well with pumpkin sways me just a bit, I do love that stuff!
I might also add that you should always put these on a cute plate, they go fast and as people pass by the empty plate they can at least admire your great taste in service ware!
