6. Bake until filling pulls away from the pan, 25-30 minutes; let cool completely in pan.
7. Frost the top of the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting. Gently drag the tines of a fork from side to side to create a wave pattern. Sprinkle with Halloween-shaped sprinkles. Cut into 24 bars and serve.
