This recipe is similar to Cheri's but may be a little richer. I don't know, you can be the judge. It never hurts to have a couple of variations on a theme.
Carrot Bars
2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 2 1/2 C flour 2 tsp cinnamon 4 eggs 2 C sugar 1 1/2 C margarine or vegetable oil (I use the oil) 3 small jars carrot baby food (the really pureed type for very little ones, just on their first solid food.) 1/2 C chopped nuts (optional-I never have used)
Sift together dry ingredients-set aside. Beat together, eggs, sugar, oil & carrots. Add flour mixture & nuts. Bake in a greased jelly roll pan @ 350 deg. for 20 to 25 minutes.
Frosting
3 1/2 C confectioners sugar 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened 1/2 C. margarine (I have always used butter)
Combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Frost cooled bars.
These can be frozen. I have never frozen them w/frosting on, just the bars.
