Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

Prep Time:
Cook Time: 35 minutes 
Ready In:
Yields:
“.”
INGREDIENTS:
 1 box angel food cake mix- the 1 step kind

1 15oz can Pumpkin

3/4 Cup water

 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 8 oz pkg. reduced fat cream cheese

few tablespoons of water, to be mixed with cream cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1.  I let the cream cheese soften on the counter for a while then I added it to my stand mixer & beat it with a couple of tablespoons of water until smooth. I just wanted it to thin out a little bit.

In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, water, & cinnamon together until it is smooth & well mixed.

2.  In a 9×13 pyrex dish- sprayed with PAM- add HALF of the cake –pumpkin mix. Then smooth it out with a rubber spatula. Drizzle half of the cream cheese over the top of it and take a small spatula to smooth it over the top. Add remaining cake-pumpkin mix & also the remaining cream cheese just making layers. Finally take a butter knife- stick it into the mix and go back & forth over the top of the cake making figure “8’s” – to blend it a bit.
3.  Bake for 35 minutes at 375 degrees OR until a toothpick comes out clean.
