2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a rectangular pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches.
Heat butter and brown sugar in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove from heat.

Pour into pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts and 1/2 cup of the baking chips.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and center is set. Cool for about 30 minutes.
Melt remaining 1/4 cup baking chips and the shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour into small resealable plastic food-storage bag, then seal bag.
Cut small opening in a corner of the bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle melted chips over bars. Cool until set.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
