Tangy cranberries stud these luscious, spicy pumpkin bars.

Bars

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/4 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
• 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and ginger in large bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup butter, pumpkin and eggs; mix well. Stir in cranberries.

Spread batter into ungreased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Frosting

• 1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk

Meanwhile, melt 1/2 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly and watching closely, until butter just starts to turn golden brown (3 to 5 minutes). (Butter will get foamy and bubble.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour into medium bowl; cool 5 minutes.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla to cooled browned butter; mix well. Stir in enough milk for desired frosting consistency. Spread frosting over cooled bars. Cut into bars.
