Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

 

Introduction

Carrot cake has always been a family favorite, but these carrot cake bars are a game-changer! Easier to make and serve than a traditional layered cake, these moist, spiced bars are topped with a rich cream cheese frosting that takes them to the next level. My mom used to make these for special occasions, and they’ve become a tradition that I’m thrilled to share. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and comforting!
