Recipe: Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars




Ingredients:
1 c. Flour
1/3 c. Brown sugar


How to make this recipe:
To this mixture, cut in 5 tablespoons butter, softened. Stir in: 1/2 c. chopped nuts (I use walnuts, but pecans would be good, too!) Set aside 3/4 c. of the above mixture for top. Press remaining amount in a buttered 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 15 mins. Cool slightly.

Combine until smooth:
8 oz. Cream cheese
1 1/2 Cinnamon
3/4 c. Sugar
1 teaspoon Allspice
1/2 c. Pumpkin
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Eggs

Pour cream cheese mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle with reserved topping. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350. Cool before cutting.

Note: I do not have an 8x8 pan, so I always make them in a 9x13" pan. (My neighbors just usually get some!) I double everything, except for the pumpkin. I put in the entire can! (The small 14 or 15 oz. ones...has about 2 cups in it.) I also use, instead of the allspice, about 1/4 teaspoon of cloves and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger. I cut them into about 1 1/2" squares, but I was just thinking, they could be cut into bigger pieces and have whipped cream put on them!! Mmmmm.....
