Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Spray 13" x 9" baking pan with cooking spray. Melt 1/2 cup butter. In bowl, beat cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg with electric mixer until well blended (mixture will come together as a thick dough). Pat the dough evenly into prepared pan; set aside. Melt the remaining stick of butter. In bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and canned pumpkin with electric mixer. Add in the melted butter, remaining 3 eggs and vanilla; blend until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice and blend. Spread pumpkin mixture over prepared crust, bake 45-60 minutes. (We cooked at least 10-15 minutes more to keep from being real gooey) Cool completely, cut into bars/squares. Cover and store in refrigerator.
