Butter Pecan Bars

This recipe is from a local magazine, however I am not sure of the exact reference.  My mom made these a while back and made me a copy of recipe, which of course has no information on it.  I will try and find the magazine next time I'm home and update so I can give credit where credit is due :). I am, however, typing the recipe word for word because I didn't have to make any changes :)

Anyway, these are super rich, and definitely not good for you,  but they are delicious and pretty easy to make!

Ingredients:
  • 1 (18 oz) box butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 stick of butter melted
  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 lb) box of powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Mix together cake mix, 1 stick of melted butter and one slightly beaten egg.  Press into a greased and floured 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  Beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add softened butter, two eggs, and powdered sugar; mix well.  Pour over cake mix layer.  Top with pecans.  Bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees for 1 hour.  Cool and cut into squares.

Enjoy!
