Emma's Pumpkin Bars

3/4 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
16 oz. pumpkin pie filling
4 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking power
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup nuts, if desired

Cream sugar and margarine until fluffy. Blend in pumpkin and eggs. Addy dry ingredients and mix well. Add nuts. Pour into greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Frosting

4 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

Combine first 3 ingredients. Add sugar a little at a time until desired consistency.

I usually don't put the nuts in the bars. I chop them and sprinkle them on top.
