Make the crust:
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture; set aside. Press remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 10 x 15-inch baking pan. Bake 20 minutes.
Make the filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread this mixture over the crust. In a small bowl, combine the reserved crumb mixture with the chopped pecans and sprinkle on top of the filling.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes 36-48 bars.
