Here on Zaar there are a couple of recipes somewhat like this one, but there are differences, & the Great Pumpkin is tellin' Charlie Brown that this one is pretty darn good! Preparation time does not include time needed for unfrosted bars to cool completely.
03Stir in pumpkin, butter, eggs & vanilla until well blended.
04Stir in cranberries, then spread mixture into an ungreased 15"x10" jellyroll baking pan.
05Bake 20-25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
06Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
07FOR THE FROSTING, melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter just starts to turn a golden color ~ DO NOT LET IT BURN!
08Remove immediately from heat & pour into a bowl.
09Let butter cool slightly, then stir in powdered sugar & vanilla.
10Stir in enough orange juice to form a frosting consistency.
11When pan of uncut pumpkin bars is cooled completely, frost & cut into bars.
