Pumpkin Spice Bars

A pumpkin bar recipe that calls for a spice cake
mix and a can of pumpkin. These are simple to prepare,
look great cut into bars or squares, and are moist and
flavorful from pumpkin.

1 package (18.25 ounces) plain spice cake mix
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 large egg
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for topping

Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat
the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a jelly-roll or half
sheet pan about 18- by 13- inches and 1-inch deep.
Place the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs in a
large bowl and blend with a wooden spoon until they
just come together. The mixture will be dry. Press this
mixture over the bottom of the pan. Set the pan aside.

Place the soft cream cheese in a mixing bowl and blend
on low until softened, 30 seconds. Add the sweetened
condensed milk, pumpkin, and eggs. Blend until the mixture
is smooth. Pour this over the crust, and top with pecans.
Place the pan in the oven. Bake until the filling has set, 30
to 35 minutes. Cool 1 hour in the pan, then cut into bars.
Makes 2 dozen

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes
