    These are from a cookbook from 1982!

    List of Ingredients




    Base:
    1/3 cup margarine or butter softened
    1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    Filling:
    1/4 cup sugar
    8 oz. cream cheese softened
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 egg

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl, cream butter
    or margarine with brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.

    Combine flour and pecans with creamed mixture.
    Reserve 1 cup for topping. Press remainder into
    bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Bake at
    350 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly
    browned.

    In small bowl, blend sugar and cream cheese until
    smooth. Add milk, optional lemon juice, vanilla and
    egg; beat well. Spread over baked crust. Sprinkle
    with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for
    23 to 27 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut
    into bars. Serve a day or two later to let the
    flavors settle. Always serve them very cold. Recipe
    may be doubled, over and over again. These go fast,
    too.
