Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese

I pulled 2 large bags of mini bagels out of our freezer last weekend.  I needed some extra room in there.  I was wondering what to do with all those bagels.  Then, I remembered a recipe for Pumpkin Cream Cheese that I had pinned recently.  I had all the ingredients on hand.  So, I whipped it up hoping it would help those bagels disappear!

The Results...
Pumpkin pie on a bagel!  If you like pumpkin pie then you'll like Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese.  It's sweet, creamy and pumpkin-y with just the right amount of spice.  Everyone gobbled this right up including my little toddler.  You can see her little hand trying to grab more in the photo!     

This is delicious for breakfast or anytime as a snack.  One bag of bagels did disappear along with this yummy cream cheese!
