  Cheesecake Bars with Cranberry Swirls



Crust:
1 yellow cake mix
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
¼ cup pecans, chopped

Filling:
1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce (10 ounce)

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter and egg and beat at low speed until crumbly. Add pecans and mix well. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13 X 9 inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes just until crust is set.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and egg until smooth. In a separate bowl, blend together cranberry sauce and nutmeg. Pour cream cheese mixture over crust. Spoon cranberry sauce in 3 rows lengthwise in pan.

Run a knife through the cranberry sauce and cream cheese mixture to form swirls. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until cream cheese mixture is set. Cool and cut into bars.
