Yep...these are pretty good! Yes yes, I know it's not chocolate, but some desserts without chocolate are still good! I have always loved carrot cake (it's healthy, right? hehe) and anything with a cream cheese frosting has my attention. How could anything with a cream cheese frosting taste bad?? I made these for my parents when they came for dinner on Sunday. I accidentally made them in the wrong-sized pan so they were thicker than they were supposed to be. Ha, whoops. Better luck next time, Ang. I would recommend these for any dessert for home or for a party. Everyone will like them!
Makes 48 bars
You'll Need:
Bars:
1 box Betty Crocker carrot cake mix
1 c. butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
3 Tbs. milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. maple extract
Frosting:
1 pkg (8 0z.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. butter or margarine, softened
2-3 tsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 c. powdered sugar
Get Busy:
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 15x10x1 inch pan with baking spray; then flour. In a large bowl, beat the bar ingredients until blended. Pour into the pan. Bake 15-18 minutes or until top is evenly golden brown and the bars spring back lightly when touched. Do NOT overcook or else they will be dry. Frown face. Cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla and cinnamon with a mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until smooth. Spread the frosting over the bars evenly. Enjoy!
