Easy Cranberry Cheesecake Bars image

I've been making these bars since I was a kid. I used to bake and sell cookies and cakes for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year from about 9 years old until I was well into my teens. Everyone loved these.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 egg
1 (10 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
