2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 cup chopped pecans |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 1/2 lbs powdered sugar (5.25 cups) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |

1. Cream butter and sugar together. Blend in pumpkin and eggs. Mix in remaining ingredients.
2. Spread in a greased 10x15 pan.
3. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-35 minutes.

5. For frosting.
6. Blend cream cheese and butter until well blended. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Blend in vanilla. Frost bars with frosting when they are cooled.
